[00:03] <reagleBRKLN> in kde 4.4, anyone gotten strigi searching works... it indexes, but when i use search bar in dolphin, always returns nothing
[00:08] <Benkinooby> hi, i don't know how to describe this bug and if, how to find out if it is allready signed up. i made a screenshot of it, so you can see the bug. http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/8335/systembarbug.jpg In general it seems, that qassel (that is the only app that is having this beaviour) doesn't disappear from the systembar. it leaves something like an invisible-empty-zombie-window. Any ideas for names/descripitions i can use, to look up
[00:08] <Benkinooby>  if this bug is allready known?
[00:11] <Benkinooby> Kindergarten: i think you have to download the source of the sudo command and edit it.... just a guess :P... but usuallyi am the one starting to insult my computer when the sudo password is wrong :D
[00:12] <Benkinooby> btw: i really really love the built-in website preview of quassel :)
[00:19] <[-Haza-]> Hey folks. Im having some issues getting two monitors working on kubuntu 9.10... Ive installed the proprietary nvidia drivers. configured the /etc/X11/xorg.conf (using the nvidia application) and restarted. My second monitor has beeoted up and it recognised by the computer.. one weird thing though
[00:19] <[-Haza-]> the desktop of the second monitor is black and i cannot drag any windows across. also.. the mouse icon changes when i pan from my maim monitor to the second one (the icon changes to a low graphic X)
[00:20] <[-Haza-]> Any thoughts what this might be? Even a pointer on what to google would help at this point :)
[00:20] <[-Haza-]> *whew*
[00:20] <donkeycart> Check your refresh rates...
[00:20] <donkeycart> I had a similar issue and found that my refresh was set wrong for the second monitor
[00:20] <donkeycart> so it wouldn't come out of powersave
[00:21] <[-Haza-]> donkeycart: Cheers for the reply but the moniter IS on
[00:21] <[-Haza-]> and i can move my mouse into it
[00:21] <[-Haza-]> I just can't drag windows into it (even though i can move my mouse)
[00:21] <[-Haza-]> and the mouse pointer icon changes
[00:21] <[-Haza-]> to a black and white X
[00:22] <donkeycart> AH.. misunderstood..  funky resolution settings on the second monitor perhaps?
[00:22] <[-Haza-]> both moniters are the same model and they both worked on the live CD
[00:22] <nowth> have you configured xorg.conf for twinview or separate X screens?
[00:22] <[-Haza-]> donkeycart: hmm, nope. The resolutions are the same for each :)
[00:22] <[-Haza-]> nowth: Umm two secs
[00:23] <[-Haza-]> nowth: Seperate
[00:23] <[-Haza-]> they technically are seperate..
[00:23] <[-Haza-]> :)
[00:23] <[-Haza-]> nowth: donkeycart: i can paste the xorg.conf if it helps at all?
[00:24] <nowth> you could try twinview if that's at all like what you want (one desktop stretching across two monitors)
[00:25] <[-Haza-]> nowth: Oh o misunderstood then
[00:25] <[-Haza-]> i assumed twinview was the same on both screens
[00:25] <nowth> nope!
[00:25] <nowth> it's named a bit confusingly.
[00:26] <[-Haza-]> nowth: Ahh, okay. Lets give that a try
[00:26] <nowth> good luck
[00:26] <[-Haza-]> Cheers, i think i will delete the xorg.conf, regenerate it and try to set it again
[00:27] <n8w1ng> hey
[00:28] <n8w1ng> im tryin to install db2 but i keep gettin this error rite after runin ./dbsetup : The DISPLAY variable is not set properly.  Ensure that the DISPLAY variable is set properly and that permissions are set properly to open windows on the display specified, then rerun the command.
[00:28] <n8w1ng> ive tried this: export DISPLAY=myIP:0.0 but it doesnt make any difference,still gettin that error
[00:29] <n8w1ng> anyone?
[00:33] <[-Haza-]> nowth: Still there?
[00:33] <nowth> yes
[00:33] <[-Haza-]> nowth: Sir! i owe you a beer! :D
[00:33] <[-Haza-]> Thank you
[00:33] <nowth> you're welcome!
[00:33] <[-Haza-]> The naming is very strange though i'll give you that
[00:33] <[-Haza-]> The wrong way round for sure
[00:34] <nowth> yes, it sounds like two cloned outputs.
[00:37] <[-Haza-]> nowth: http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=84726 :D
[00:38] <nowth> how spacious!
[00:38] <[-Haza-]> Heheh, indeed. Some might say (i say) a little too spacious
[00:38] <[-Haza-]> Last time i take advice of what moniter to buy from a friend
[00:38] <nowth> can't really have enough space...
[00:38] <nowth> or not too much, at any rate
[00:39] <[-Haza-]> nowth: Heheh. Thanks again buddy. Much appreciated
[00:40] <nowth> dual monitors is the one thing I always get to work. heh
[00:41] <fabio123> [-Haza-]: you do have a good vision...
[00:41] <fabio123> but that isn't kde 4.4, is it?
[00:43] <[-Haza-]> fabio123: Umm, its umm
[00:43] <[-Haza-]> 9.10, downloaded it about a week or so ago
[00:43] <[-Haza-]> no idea what version of KDE
[00:43] <[-Haza-]> ahh, 4.3.2
[00:43] <[-Haza-]> fabio123: Is that such a bad thing or...?
[00:44] <pucko-> n8w1ng, ok, this is a stupid solution, but have you tried just ssh to your box locally? at least the display properties are set up correctly for you.
[00:49] <fabio123> [-Haza-]: kde 4.4 looks better, even more with compix+emerald with the air theme
[00:50] <nowth> I don't see much of a difference, except it's buggier so far
[00:50] <nowth> ok,  you can get framed window titles...
[00:50] <fabio123> nowth: u are right
[00:52] <[-Haza-]> I think i'll hold off for the time being then :)
[00:52] <nowth> upgrade to the latest 4.3.x release, at least
[01:02] <Benkinooby> i everybody. i lsot the home folder (link) that was in my desktop folder. how can i get it again (with this special home-folder-symbol)?
[01:02] <Benkinooby> lsot = lost
[01:15] <[-Haza-]> hmm, whats the best way to get the flash plugin these days?
[01:16] <[-Haza-]> via Adobe? the repository?
[01:25] <BluesKaj> [-Haza-], sudo apt-get install falshplugin-nonfree
[01:25] <BluesKaj> err flashplugin-nonfree
[01:27] <[-Haza-]> BluesKaj: Heey that will work perfectly thank you
[01:27] <[-Haza-]> :)
[01:30] <Benkinooby> hi, i want the (link? to) my homefolder in my desktop folder back , like the
[01:30] <Benkinooby> http://hanswchen.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/folderview.png shows
[01:32] <[-Haza-]> Benkinooby: rick click on your desktop and add widget
[01:32] <[-Haza-]> then add a folder view
[01:33] <[-Haza-]> BluesKaj: Got the flash player installed but no sound for some reason :s Thoughts?
[01:33] <Benkinooby> [-Haza-]:  for this one i have allready.. i just want the home-folder sybol back
[01:33] <[-Haza-]> Benkinooby: symbol?
[01:34] <Benkinooby> [-Haza-]: the link i posted... you can see the "Home" folder in the Folder View wdget, that displays the desktop, right?
[01:34] <[-Haza-]> Sure
[01:34] <Benkinooby> [-Haza-]: i don't have this "Home" in my Desktop folder anymore
[01:35] <[-Haza-]> Benkinooby: Oh i see
[01:35] <Benkinooby> [-Haza-]:  i tried links and everything that came to my mind... but it always mixes "Home" (which is /home/username) and /home
[01:36] <[-Haza-]> Benkinooby: Hmm, im not quite sure to be honest
[01:36] <Benkinooby> [-Haza-]: i don't know how to recreate it... can you tell me, if it is a link or a *.desktop file?
[01:37] <Benkinooby> [-Haza-]: do you have it? when u rightclick on it, what do you see?
[01:37] <[-Haza-]> Benkinooby: Im afraid this is a new install (as of a couple of hours ago) kubuntu 9.10 and i do not have that icon in my desktop folder view
[01:38] <Benkinooby> [-Haza-]: it's there by standard... folder view on Desktop, then it should be there, like the link i posted
[01:39] <[-Haza-]> Im sure it should. Ive seen it in the past but i assure you.. its not here now
[01:40] <Benkinooby> [-Haza-]: :/
[01:40] <[-Haza-]> Benkinooby: How about this
[01:40] <iconmefisto> Benkinooby: in dolphin, right-click and Create New > Link to location (URL) and put in location $HOME
[01:40] <Izinucs> Benkinooby: it took me a while to figure this one out as well.. but I have the answer.
[01:40] <[-Haza-]> its not exactly right but...
[01:40] <[-Haza-]> oh.. there you go then :)
[01:41] <Izinucs> Benkinooby: like iconmefisto said.. do that but instead of $HOME I use ~/<my name>
[01:43] <Benkinooby> Izinucs: hmm.. douesn't work for me
[01:43] <iconmefisto> Benkinooby: or create a file with these contents and you won't have to reset the icon: http://pastebin.ca/1795839
[01:45] <Benkinooby> iconmefisto: yes!!! that did it! wow! thank you
[01:45] <Izinucs> Benkinooby: you mean right mouse click in a blank area of the desktop (box) and "Create New" > "Link to location (URL) and put in ~/Benkinooby??  When I do it and enter the tilde "~" it automatically show my default /home name.
[01:45] <Benkinooby> [-Haza-]: thanks for your help
[01:45] <Benkinooby> Izinucs:  also thanks for your help
[01:47] <Benkinooby> Izinucs: let me try
[01:48] <Benkinooby> Izinucs: this wrks too, but it will be like a normal folder... this small whit house on the folder symbol will be missing...
[01:49] <Izinucs> Benkinooby: I never noticed that because I've never seen it (small white house).. I wonder what that house means (uh.. /home?) .. glad it worked.
[01:49] <Benkinooby> Izinucs: give me a sev, then i will pastebin a pic...
[01:51] <Benkinooby> sorry quassel crashed
[01:51] <Benkinooby> Izinucs: http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/4104/folders.png
[01:51] <Benkinooby> Izinucs: this is what is my point... the very left one is what i wanted all the time
[01:52] <Izinucs> Benkinooby: interesting..probably because you used the $HOME value.. mine is just a blue folder with my /home name below it.. fortunately I'm the only user on the machine so there's no confusion.
[01:53] <iconmefisto> Benkinooby: the line Icon=user-home determines the icon used
[01:54] <izzyb> anyone know what happened to partimage in the repositories?
[01:54] <nOStahl> hi guys, i think i got 4.4 working
[01:54] <nOStahl> checked about/kde and says 4.4 now finally
[01:54] <Benkinooby> iconmefisto: seems your name is indicationg your knowledge in this area ;)
[01:54] <nOStahl> its not the netbook version anymore though
[01:54] <nOStahl> any ideas what happened in the upgrade
[01:57] <Benkinooby> Izinucs: for me it was more an estetical reason (in the beginning, in the end i didn't want to believe that i am not capable of creating an icon ;) )
[01:57] <iconmefisto> !info partimage
[01:57] <Benkinooby> to me this thesktop icons versus links versus real folders is very confusing, especially in combination with folder view widget
[01:59] <izzyb> iconmefisto: I'm not finding it with apt-cache, and I have all the apt sources uncommented in /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:59] <izzyb> I've installed it in the past, but first noticed it was missing last week some time
[02:00] <Benkinooby> izzyb: what are you looking for?
[02:00] <izzyb> partimage
[02:02] <Benkinooby> izzyb: so sudo aptitude install partimage doesn't give you anything?
[02:03] <iconmefisto> izzyb: gotta be a problem with sources.list
[02:03] <izzyb> k, sorry, on phone, bbiab
[02:06] <Benkinooby> izzyb:this is my sources.list http://pastebin.com/d4e993e9d i have partimage in my repo
[02:09] <nOStahl> hey guys i installed 4.4 and now the netbook stuff isnt there anymore
[02:09] <nOStahl> how do i get it back
[02:10] <iconmefisto> nOStahl: just guessing, but maybe try reinstalling kubuntu-netbook ?
[02:10] <nOStahl> k
[02:11] <nOStahl> says its already at newest version
[02:11] <iconmefisto> sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-netbook
[02:14] <nOStahl> k
[02:14] <nOStahl> k brb testing
[02:16] <hazamonzo> hey folks. Whats a good Kubuntu backup application? Im pretty sure i used to use something like kbackup
[02:18] <nOStahl_> no affect
[02:18] <nOStahl_> just rebooted
[02:18] <nOStahl_> still looks like standard kde desktop
[02:22] <iconmefisto> nOStahl_: try reinstalling kubuntu-netbook-default-settings ?
[02:23] <nOStahl_> sudo apt-get --reinstall install kubuntu-netbook-default-settings ?
[02:23] <iconmefisto> nOStahl_: other way round: install --reinstall
[02:24] <nOStahl_> k
[02:24] <nOStahl_> done do i have to do full reboot or just logout/login
[02:25] <nOStahl_> brb
[02:25] <iconmefisto> nOStahl_: probably just logout. maybe restart X before logging in
[02:28] <nOStahl> k did that and restarted
[02:28] <nOStahl> still noaffect
[02:30] <Benkinooby> nOStahl: hmm. i was reading about this netbook kde thing... isn't it just a widget?
[02:31] <nOStahl> not sure
[02:31] <nOStahl> it had a top bar
[02:31] <nOStahl> and some widgets and stuff
[02:31] <nOStahl> now i just got the bottom bar standard kde 4.4 stuff
[02:31] <iconmefisto> nOStahl: what if you alt+F2 and type plasma-netbook ?
[02:31] <nOStahl> testing
[02:33] <nOStahl> that pulled up the stuff
[02:33] <nOStahl> still hve bottom bar though hrmm
[02:34] <iconmefisto> nOStahl: killall plasma-desktop
[02:35] <Benkinooby> nOStahl: froma what i read @ http://www.kde.org/workspaces/plasmanetbook/ there are 2 main directions: plasma desktop and plasma netbook. (you can see it on the very top of the site)
[02:35] <nOStahl> so can i have apt remove plasma-desktop
[02:35] <nOStahl> save some space on my ssd
[02:36] <Benkinooby> nOStahl: this one is very intersting http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=83665
[02:36] <Benkinooby> nOStahl: it is about changing from netbook to desktop... but in the end it should be the same procedure....
[02:38] <Benkinooby> nOStahl: the second page of this thread gives the solution
[02:38] <nOStahl> k
[02:38] <nOStahl> just did sudo apt-get remove plasma-desktop
[02:40] <Benkinooby> nOStahl: what is the result=
[02:40] <Benkinooby> ?
[02:40] <nOStahl> doing reboot now to test brb
[02:40] <Benkinooby> izzyb: how far?

[02:52] <dorkface> Hi all.  Is there a way to keep a widget on top at all times, like you can with windows?
[02:59] <iconmefisto> dorkface: there's a program called plasmoidviewer that you can use, and make the plasmoidviewer window "always on top" and "no border"
[03:00] <dorkface> iconmefisto: Thanks.  Is that installed by default, or would I have to apt-get it?
[03:00] <iconmefisto> dorkface: I think it's installed by default
[03:01] <iconmefisto> dorkface: plasmoidviewer --list will show a list of widgets

[03:30] <loocasss> Benkinooby: i choose one style, apply it, it doesnt do it... simple
[03:30] <Benkinooby> loocasss: ah, ok... and u tried different styles and none of them worked...
[03:30] <Ev0luti0n_> damn it
[03:30] <Ev0luti0n_> i fuckin hate quassel
[03:30] <loocasss> Benkinooby: none...
[03:31] <Ev0luti0n_> using this shit for the first time... dunno how can anyone use this fuckin shit, instead of konversation
[03:31] <loocasss> Benkinooby: i have .gtkrc-2.0-kde4 and ive changed it to -2.0 and then back to -kde4 but no effect
[03:31] <iconmefisto> !language | Ev0luti0n_
[03:32] <loocasss> !configuration
[03:32] <Ev0luti0n_> lulz
[03:32] <Benkinooby> loocasss: this prob is too difficult for me... i even can't guess sorry
[03:33] <Benkinooby> Ev0luti0n_: so why do u use it?
[03:33] <Ev0luti0n_> cuz since i've upgraded KDE to 4.4 through the backports, Konversation got so slow to use that i can barely type
[03:33] <Ev0luti0n_> dunno whats wrong
[03:34] <Ev0luti0n_> tried disabling logging, but didn't solve it...
[03:34] <Ev0luti0n_> performance seems down a bit...
[03:34] <Ev0luti0n_> on the gfx side, with this new version.
[03:34] <Ev0luti0n_> I love the beautiness of the new kde... but....
[03:34] <Ev0luti0n_> some things are not quite there yet
[03:34] <Benkinooby> ok, see ya! my battery is low
[03:35] <Ev0luti0n_> cya
[03:41] <iconmefisto> Ev0luti0n_: just installed konversation here (kde4.4) and it seems fine. maybe purge konversation and reinstall with default settings?
[03:41] <Ev0luti0n_> hmmmm
[03:42] <Ev0luti0n_> that would be a good idea! haven't tried that out yet
[03:42] <poyntz> can i uninstall dragon player or will that stuff up kde?
[03:42] <Ev0luti0n_> and what about performance issues? And user management? and akonadi?
[03:42] <Ev0luti0n_> i don't like that much the way kde 4.4 works right now
[03:42] <Ev0luti0n_> i had a few errors after upgrading.. not to mention it was a bitch to start after upgrading from the backports
[03:43] <Ev0luti0n_> lol, i lost my grub settings and the distro didn't book

[03:43] <iconmefisto> poyntz: you should be able to remove dragonplayer
[03:45] <iconmefisto> poyntz: why do you want to uninstall it?
[03:46] <Guest13278> Can someone giveme a hand here? I installed flash player and it works fine, but I can't use Hulu. what should I do?
[03:48] <Guest13278> Is anyone there?
[03:49] <Guest13278> Can someone help me upgrade flashplayer?
[03:49] <iconmefisto> Guest13278: what version do you have?
[03:50] <Guest13278> I'm operating on Kubuntu and I thought I had the most recent
[03:51] <Guest13278> because everything relatedto flash is working
[03:51] <Guest13278> but I can't get Hulu towork
[03:51] <Guest13278> and the sudo I found online isn't working
[03:58] <iconmefisto> Guest13278: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ will tell you what version you have. mine says 10,0,42,34 but the latest is 10.0.45.2
[03:59] <izzyb> oops, sorry about the gibberish above... my daughter must have got to the keyboard when I walked away...
[04:00] <izzyb> Looks like I missed <Benkinooby>
[04:00] <izzyb> So it seems that partimage is available but not on my systems for some reason
[04:01] <izzyb> is it possible that the canadian repositories are somehow missing it?
[04:02] <izzyb> That's the only difference I seen between my sources.list and the one Benkinooby posted
[04:02] <izzyb> well, the main difference...
[04:03] <izzyb> Anyone from canada able to check if partimage is available?
[04:04] <izzyb> apt-cache search partimage only lists partimage-doc
[04:05] <izzyb> This is my sources.list   ---  http://pastebin.com/d4e993e9d
[04:09] <izzyb> http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/partimage
[04:09] <izzyb> Looks like it should be in Universe, but doesn't show up for me
[04:12] <iconmefisto> izzyb: tried a different download server? (from kpackagekit settings)
[04:12] <izzyb> iconmefisto: I was just looking for a different mirror actually
[04:16] <juacom99> hi can someone please help me with a grub problem
[04:16] <juacom99> i'm trying to set my grub to double boot
[04:16] <iconmefisto> izzyb: I just tried the first canadian mirror listed in kpackagekit (ftp.cs.mun.ca) and I still have partimage installable
[04:17] <juacom99> i manage to fix
[04:17] <juacom99> kubuntu grub after windows install
[04:17] <juacom99> this are my partitions
[04:17] <juacom99> http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/8413/grub.png
[04:18] <juacom99> and this is the entery on my menu.lst
[04:18] <juacom99> http://paste.ubuntu.com/375910/
[04:18] <juacom99> i can'f find that is wrong
[04:18] <izzyb> I'm still waiting for kpackagekit to update after switching to the main servers
[04:18] <juacom99> i get error reading disk when i select windows
[04:20] <izzyb> Hmm, still not getting them.
[04:21] <izzyb> http://paste.ubuntu.com/375914/
[04:21] <izzyb> That's my new sources.list
[04:22] <izzyb> still only see partimage-doc when I do apt-cache search partimage
[04:22] <izzyb> I've done an apt-get update
[04:25] <izzyb> iconmefisto: I'm trying the mirror you tested
[04:25] <iconmefisto> izzyb: that one was really slow, but I'm in australia not canada
[04:26] <izzyb> it is slow, even from canada :(
[04:26] <CartoonCat> Hellos
[04:26] <CartoonCat> I am having a issue with the xne package, cnee keeps reporting bad input from record
[04:30] <izzyb> iconmefisto: I'm trying a different canadian mirror.  that one failed twice for me :(
[04:31] <izzyb> hmm, still no go
[04:32] <izzyb> something is very wrong.  I wonder if my ISP has some kind of caching going on
[04:32] <izzyb> you'd think switching mirrors would have bypassed something like that though
[04:33] <izzyb> I'll have to try more tomorrow.  I need to find a pillow
[04:33] <izzyb> very odd problem, and on 3 fresh installs now.  I'll try from a different ISP tomorrow

[05:19] <vbgunz> anybody here upgrade to 4.4 and use konqueror for the web? check this out and tell me if you get almost ten prompts for server authentication. could a site fail so badly or is this konquerors fault? https://twitter.com/ThatKevinSmith/status/9079110598

[05:45] <jazmac> When I log on, all I get is what looks like an outline of the log in box but no desktop, no icons, no toolbar
[05:46] <jazmac> I don't know what to do next
[05:47] <jazmac> Any help??
[05:51] <jazmac> Is this thing on?
[05:52] <iconmefisto> jazmac: what I did is boot recovery mode and go to root console, then apt-get purge kdm, then apt-get install kdm, then reboot
[05:53] <darthanubis> Bonster: of course
[05:54] <Bonster> am i missing something then?
[05:54] <Bonster> checked the box
[05:54] <Bonster> didnt do nothing
[05:54] <darthanubis> better than getting an error
[05:54] <darthanubis> and something always does something
[05:55] <darthanubis> it it runs there is evidence of that
[05:55] <darthanubis> if it does not run, there is also evidence of such action
[05:55] <darthanubis> look into that
[05:58] <Bonster> ?
[05:58] <Bonster> so u saying u donno?
[06:39] <yeager_> hello

[06:43] <iconmefisto> yeager_: in systemsettings > multimedia, do you get sound if you try the "test" button?
[06:43] <Bonster> think is sudo
[06:43] <rethus1> so can i "execute as other user" and then type suther into this field to get an password-request for my own user
[06:43] <Bonster> if u wanna run stuff as root
[06:43] <yeager_> no i get no sound i get an error message

[07:15] <zubin71> nonameNN 4.3

[07:16] <nonameNN> zubin71: well... its easy--- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
[07:16] <zubin71> thnkx
[07:17] <nonameNN> zubin71: noo problem, its way better 4.4 than 4.3
[07:17] <zubin71> nonameNN : cant wait to get started using it! :)
[07:18] <nonameNN> zubin71: its cool a litle bit faster... i some times miss gnome though
[07:19] <zubin71> nonameNN : i see... i dont miss gnome that much tho... however my knetmanager does not connect to wifi. so i use gnomes nm-applet in KDE
[07:19] <zubin71> any idea y that happens?
[07:20] <nonameNN> zubin71: well... could be a lot of stuff... just try upgrading kde and try again

[07:23] <nonameNN> zubin71: no problem but its night here
[07:23] <Condoulo> (preferably via the command line)
[07:26] <iconmefisto> Condoulo: what package won't upgrade?
[07:27] <Condoulo> iconmefisto: a bunch of packages needed for KDE4.4 - but, I did a little research and found I needed to upgrade them via dist-upgrade.
[07:27]  * Condoulo hopes this fixes the issues I've been having
[07:29] <Condoulo> brb.
[07:53] <|MA|> hi all
[08:12] <mick_> salut
[08:13] <mick_> y'aurai t il un pro du grub ici ?
[08:13] <iconmefisto_> !fr
[08:14] <mick_> oups sorry ;-)
[08:14] <mick_> I will go on the french one
[08:21] <|MA|> acroread doesn't work with amd64 ?
[08:22] <|MA|> i get : acrobat reader 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
[08:22] <|MA|> any ideas ?
[08:23] <|MA|> with kubuntu 9.10 amd64
[08:28] <archish> hello?
[08:28] <oursblanc38> bonjour
[08:29] <mick_> hello
[08:30] <buckfast> Hey. I booted up my computer this morning and got a window box saying one or more audio devices had been removed and would I like KDE to forget about them. Audio no longer works for programs like Amarok. It worked fine just yesterday however.
[08:30] <nonameNN> im sure im not the only one whos missing the screensavers on kde 4.4???
[08:31] <MaximB> hi people
[08:31] <MaximB> does KDE4.4 available for Kubuntu via backports or not yet ?
[08:31] <MaximB> I mean the "final" kde4.4
[08:32] <buckfast> MaximB: Its available
[08:32] <MaximB> cool
[08:33] <MaximB> buckfast:  there is no problem installing it on Ubuntu right ? (I didn't install Kubuntu)
[08:34] <Tm_T> MaximB: Kubuntu and Ubuntu are the same in that sense
[08:34] <Tm_T> MaximB: see http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.4
[08:34] <MaximB> whu sc ?
[08:34] <MaximB> *why
[08:35] <|MA|> is the acroread package: acroread_9.3-1karmic1_amd64.deb known to work ?
[08:35] <|MA|> i get :
[08:35] <Tm_T> MaximB: http://dot.kde.org/2009/11/24/repositioning-kde-brand
[08:35] <|MA|> acroread
[08:35] <|MA|> /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
[08:38] <buckfast> Tryed restarting KDE but the analog sound device is still grayed out in multimedia settings and not working
[08:41] <mick_> as it seems there is some people here maybe I will found some help ! I have installed two Linux OS on an external HDD, it was working fine but since I've updated the kernel of one of the two I canno't launch the other one
[08:42] <mick_> grub say me an error like ' you must load the kernel first'
[08:42] <|MA|> buckfast, try playing with alsamixer with the controls set to the max
[08:43] <buti> what happened to the system monitor plasmoid in kde 4.4? i can't set the color anymore, nor remove the text ...
[08:43] <buti> this is absolutely not nice when used in the panel
[08:47] <buckfast> |MA|: you mean kmixer? for some reason the audio works in mplayer.
[08:47] <|MA|> buckfast alsamixer
[08:47] <Tm_T> buckfast: set KDE to use pulseaudio if you use it elsewhere
[08:47] <|MA|> i had the same problem
[08:48] <buckfast> |MA|: I dont have alsamixer. It worked fine just yesterday, I didnt change anything. When i start amarok for example, it says that the analog audio device is not working
[08:48] <|MA|> for me vlc would work, nothing else
[08:49] <|MA|> now, audio works as expected
[08:49] <Tm_T> buckfast: sounds to me thatsound device is reserved by, my bet, pulseaudio
[08:49] <|MA|> happened to be some audio control settings, which were turned down quite much
[08:49] <buckfast> Tm_T: The preferred sound device in settings->multimedia is the analog device, but its grayed out there
[08:50] <Tm_T> buckfast: yes, because that device is reserved by some process, and I would blame pulseaudio
[08:50] <buckfast> Tm_T: What should I do then, uninstall pulseaudio?
[08:50] <|MA|> buckfast install alsa-utils, which will give you alsamixer
[08:50] <Tm_T> |MA|: this is not volume level issue
[08:51] <|MA|> TmT I had the same issue
[08:51] <buckfast> Tm_T: when I set pulseaudio as the preferreed device, it doesnt work either
[08:51] <|MA|> I tried to never ends with pulse audio
[08:51] <|MA|> it never worked
[08:51] <Tm_T> buckfast: yeah, pulseaudio is bit hard to get working if it doesn't work rightaway
[08:52] <|MA|> and pulse audio is real shit to work with
[08:52] <Tm_T> buckfast: try stopping it
[08:52] <buckfast> Tm_T: I think the problem started with upgrading to kde4.4
[08:52] <Tm_T> |MA|: please watch your language
[08:52] <|MA|> the daemon stops responding
[08:52] <buckfast> Tm_T: How do I stop it
[08:53] <Tm_T> buckfast: run "pactl exit"
[08:53] <buckfast> Tm_T: not installed it says
[08:54] <Tm_T> buckfast: hum, so it might not be pulseaudio taking the device, brrrh
[08:54]  * Tm_T hates these sound mess
[08:54] <Tm_T> !sound | buckfast
[08:55] <|MA|> buckfast try doing a test with your audio device, with insystem settings
[08:56] <buckfast> |MA|: doesnt work
[08:57] <buckfast> Can't hear any sounds at all
[08:57] <|MA|> is the sound driver module loaded ?
[08:57] <buckfast> Tm_T: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav works
[08:57] <buckfast> Dunno
[08:58] <Tm_T> weird
[08:58] <Tm_T> I really don't know much about soundsystems these days ):
[08:58] <|MA|> ok, looks exactly like your volume is turned down
[08:58] <|MA|> use alsamixer
[08:58] <Tm_T> that doesn't explain why device is greyed out in list
[08:59] <|MA|> after fiddling with alsamixer, you kmix later on
[08:59] <|MA|> I get that message to with kde
[08:59] <|MA|> saying that the device doesn't work
[08:59] <|MA|> and using the digital device instead
[08:59] <|MA|> using a ALC889 codec
[09:00] <|MA|> in the end it works real fine
[09:00] <|MA|> i just had to change the volume levels
[09:03] <buckfast_> i'll try restarting
[09:05] <aperson> is there a way to disable activities in kde 4.4?
[09:06] <Tm_T> aperson: you need one activity atleast, what you want to disable really?
[09:07] <|MA|> tm_t any idea about the acroread issue ?
[09:07] <Tm_T> no, sorry, I don't use it
[09:07] <aperson> well, then disable all other activities and get rid of the ability to zoom out?
[09:08] <aperson> and remove any other ability to switch between activities?
[09:09] <Tm_T> I wonder if kiosktools offers any such functionality
[09:10] <aperson> I can look into it
[09:10] <poyntz> iconmefisto_: i want to remove dragonplayer cause all it plays are dvds... i hav to use mplayer for practically everything. given mplayer does dvds as well, no point having dragonplayer...
[09:11] <aperson> my system comes to a crawl when I've accidentally zoomed out
[09:11] <poyntz> iconmefisto_: but i've heard that removing dragonplayer stuffs up kde
[09:11] <poyntz> or atleast kubuntu
[09:11] <aperson> what's the reason behind removing it?  just set your preferred player as the default
[09:12] <Tm_T> also removing it won't save much disk space either
[09:13] <raymears_> hello everyone, small question(using kde 4.4 from BACKPORTS): i've installed kttsd and also some festival packages, yet there are no speakers to choose from, in system settings/accessibility and it also tells me "kttsd is not running" inspite ps ax | grep ktts saying:  "2747 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/kttsd"
[09:14] <buckfast> |MA|: its deifinitely not an alsamixer problem
[09:14] <buckfast> mplayer plays audio just fine
[09:15] <buckfast> means that KDE audio settings are messed up somewhere
[09:17] <raymears_> what else should i install? i have kttsd, a couple of festivox-speakers and also kdeaccesibility
[09:21] <buckfast> When I try to remove pulseaudio stuff it also seems to want to remove kde4.4 as it says its dependencies
[09:23] <|MA|> buckfast some of those dependencies are really horrible.
[09:23] <|MA|> unistalled postfix and gkrellm wouldn't start up
[09:31] <Condoulo> ok, I am having a problem where I am not getting any sound from Amarok
[09:33] <raymears_> nobody knows their way around kttsd around here? :(
[09:33] <Tm_T> not me, haven't used in few years now
[09:34] <aperson> I've only ever used espeak, and that was minimally
[09:35] <raymears_> i don't need it either. i just want to get it working. damn ocd
[09:36] <Tm_T> raymears_: aye, don't know how it works these days, try asking in #kde (:
[09:36] <raymears_> can't just leave it like that. i know it worked some time ago, in jaunty
[09:36] <raymears_> i think it is a distro-related issue
[09:37] <Tm_T> still won't hurt asking
[09:37] <raymears_> yeah. i'll do that
[09:37] <raymears_> thanks
[09:38] <buckfast> Tm_T: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=26a35a979ff6f86fd0979db6e95f87160b66093c
[09:38] <buckfast> anything wrong there?
[09:41] <Tm_T> buckfast: seems ~ok to me, though I'm not very familiar with that kind of stuff
[09:44] <buckfast> Tm_T: What should I do then?
[09:44] <frodoleggins> hi, someone knows why an update (python-qt4) wants to remove my kubuntu desktop
[09:44] <buckfast> Tm_T: I went through the troubleshooting page but everything seemed to work according to that
[09:45] <Tm_T> buckfast: hmmmh, add another user and try if that another user has it all working
[09:45] <buckfast> for some reason i have python-qt4 in blocked updates
[09:45] <Tm_T> ...
[09:46] <frodoleggins> buckfast: me too
[09:46] <buckfast> frodoleggins: upgraded to kde4.4 did you?
[09:46] <frodoleggins> buckfast: if you try to force the upgrade aptitude tell you that have to remove kubuntu-desktop and many other packages
[09:47] <frodoleggins> buckfast: i've upgraded  2 days ago
[09:49] <buckfast> Yeah so did I
[09:50] <buckfast> I think I messed up my audio with the upgrade to kde4.4
[09:50] <frodoleggins> mine works fine
[09:50] <buckfast> Did you have to force some package installations on the upgrade?
[09:51] <Condoulo> buckfast: My audio works fine except in Amarok =/
[09:51] <frodoleggins> Condoulo: mine works fine also in amarok :p
[09:51] <buckfast> Mine also worked fine yesterday
[09:51] <buckfast> But today it decided to stop working
[09:52] <Condoulo> frodoleggins: do you have Pulseaudio installed?
[09:52] <frodoleggins> Condoulo: I don't
[09:53] <Condoulo> frodoleggins: the package manager says I don't have it installed - yet the Audio config settings still shows it on the list
[09:54]  * Condoulo reboots

[10:02] <Tm_T> ReadySetGo: no need to ask, there's already most of the apps you need in default install (:
[10:02] <frodoleggins> go play with you're windows and stop it
[10:02] <Tm_T> frodoleggins: ssshhhh
[10:02] <frodoleggins> *your
[10:02] <alvin> ReadySetGo: Install, and you'll know why we think you are joking.
[10:02] <ReadySetGo> but i have questions before ill install
[10:03] <ReadySetGo> ill limit it then: foxit reader, last program
[10:03] <frodoleggins> okular
[10:03] <Tm_T> ReadySetGo: Okular is there, as default
[10:03] <frodoleggins> and really stop
[10:03] <ReadySetGo> frodoleggins, whats your problem man?
[10:04] <Tm_T> ReadySetGo: and have fun discovering what Kubuntu contains, there's a lot of apps already after you have installed, and plenty of more available easily
[10:05] <alvin> You can't really compare those. Notepad vs Kate? Foxit Reader reads PDF's. Probably works fine, but Okular reads a lot more formats. Paint?
[10:05] <frodoleggins> you're joking, if you want to try kubuntu install it, and you'll find all the apps you need
[10:05] <Tm_T> frodoleggins: see msg
[10:05] <ReadySetGo> frodoleggins, i want to be sure
[10:05] <Tm_T> ReadySetGo: you can try livecd without installing if you are in doubt
[10:06] <alvin> Now, can someone tell me if I ran into a bug or if I'm doing something wrong in KDE 4.4. I added an addressbook (IMAP resource), but addresses are not being saved. The error is: No writable resource was found, saving will not be possible. Reconfigure KMail first. (KMail IS configured for use with IMAP groupware functionality)
[10:07] <ReadySetGo> speaking of, and dont freak out on this again, but i heard and i repeat: HEARD, so im not sure, which is why im asking, that linux cant find every modem?
[10:07] <alvin> You're using dialup?
[10:08] <ReadySetGo> im not sure, how do i check?
[10:11] <ReadySetGo> does 802.11g answer the question?
[10:14] <alistair> Hello?
[10:14] <alvin> Not really. You'ew using wifi. Could still be in a combinations with dialu, but it's irrelevant. Wifi is no longer the big problem it once was.
[10:15] <ReadySetGo> so it will find it? :)
[10:15] <alvin> Probably
[10:16] <ReadySetGo> so its not 100% sure, what if?
[10:20] <viashino> brazilian channel ?
[10:20] <aperson> !bz
[10:21] <aperson> err
[10:21] <alvin> Then it get's interesting :-) There's always ndiswrapper
[10:21] <alvin> !ndiswrapper
[10:21] <ReadySetGo> thanks

[10:22] <viashino> tnx
[10:23] <paoligno> Hi. I'm using 9.10 and I can't see the onboard wireless network card. With an older version of kubuntu (maybe 8.10) I could.... what I can do?
[10:46] <Guest16984> does someone know, how to turn off the "plasma"-messages that arrive at the left bottom of the screen?
[10:48] <tsimpson> Guest16984: right-click on the "i" icon the the system tray and un-check the "Show notifications" box
[10:49] <fatum> kubuntu 9.10 worked out great.  Fast install, and everything worked.   I tried to update kde to 4.4 from 4.3, and then on reboot, plasma desktop chrashes each time I login.  I'm going to reinstall kubuntu.  Can someone please provide a guide of updating kde 4.3 to 4.4?
[10:49] <fatum> <aybe I made a mistake.
[10:50] <Guest16984> thanks @ tsimpson - it worked ;)
[10:51] <Exilant> fatum, maybe just wait, then do an update. right now something seems  to be broken
[10:52] <Exilant> dist-upgrade tries to remove several important packets and so
[10:52] <fatum> should I reinstall kubuntu?  I won't lose anything important, and it's not useable at the moment
[10:53] <fatum> I really like kde 4.4 and the plasma desktop.  It's really slick.
[10:53] <frodoleggins> fatum: try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:54] <fatum> frodoleggins: I just formatted the drive down, after reinstalling should I try that out?
[10:54] <fatum> also, is the wobbly window effect available for plasma?  I didn't see anything like that
[10:54] <fatum> in the settings
[10:54] <frodoleggins> after reinstalling kubuntu has to works right
[10:54] <frodoleggins> wobbly windows are in desktop effects
[10:57] <fatum> frodoleggins:  What would be the best method to upgrade to 4.4 after installing?
[10:58] <Biosftw> Hi i can search with nepomuk via krunner but not via dolphin
[10:58] <Biosftw> : P how to serach with dolphin
[11:18] <ubuntuku> everyone please upgrade the packages now :)
[11:20] <aperson> how can one use rss-glx screensavers in kubuntu?
[11:20] <Tm_T> ubuntuku: which packages?
[11:20] <n8w> hey
[11:21] <n8w> im tryin to install db2 but i keep gettin this errror when i run db2setup : The DISPLAY variable is not set properly.  Ensure that the DISPLAY variable is set properly
[11:21] <n8w> could any of u help me out with this...
[11:22] <aperson> try prepending your command with: export DISPLAY=:0.0;
[11:23] <n8w> aperson, nothin,still the same
[11:23] <ubuntuku> TmT: sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:23] <fatum> what's the best way to upgrade to kde 4.4 after a clean install of kubuntu 9.10?  Last time I attempted, the installation was bricked.
[11:23] <fatum> Plasma chrashed on login
[11:24] <Tm_T> ubuntuku: yes, which packages?
[11:24] <ubuntuku> backport ppa
[11:24] <Tm_T> ah, you should have mentioned that (:)
[11:26] <n8w> aperson:  it doesnt make any difference
[11:26] <n8w> aperson:  any other suggestions?
[11:26] <Tm_T> n8w: how are you running it?
[11:26] <n8w> Tm_T:  as a root...../db2setup
[11:27] <Tm_T> n8w: apparently it wants X session, so login to desktop as your normal user and launch it then with kdesu
[11:27] <n8w> Tm_T:  when i run it as a user, everythins fine...but i need more than one instance runnin at the same time,so i need to install it as a root
[11:28] <n8w> Tm_T:  ok,ill try
[11:28] <koltroll> Guys, I've installed the offical ATI drivers, activated Xinerama so that I can have dual monitors. But now I can't activa composite. I've tried to find info on how to solve this but I just can't find any. All help would be greatly appreciated!

[11:32] <scoopex> hi, the website references the follwing apt-source ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports - what is the corrosponding line for sources.list (my kde package manager is currently broken....)
[11:34] <fatum> how can you update from kde 4.3 to 4.4?
[11:34] <fatum> Last time my installation was bricked.
[11:35] <iconmefisto> scoopex: you can do this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
[11:39] <scoopex> iconmefisto: cool, thanks - this should be part of the announcement...

[11:53] <aperson> you're going to have to be much clearer viashino, we're having a hard time understanding exactly what your problem is
[11:54] <aperson> Bios, I did a dist-upgrade and all I had to do was remove a package to fix the problem
[11:54] <viashino> yeah ... my english is not that good ... ... gonna try a diferent explain
[11:54] <Bios> aperson which one?
[11:54] <aperson> Bios, I'm looking though my bash history

[11:55] <viashino> hehehe
[11:56] <robin0800> aperson: I think you might need kscreensaver-xsavers package installed
[11:56] <Guest19185> Bios,  python-kde4:
[11:56] <Guest19185>   Depends: python-qt4 (<4.7.0-2ubuntu1~karmic3+~) but 4.7.0-2ubuntu1~karmic4~ppa1 is to be installed
[11:56] <Guest19185> ?
[11:57] <Bios> well : P tbh I have no idea but sometimes when I use my keyboard with german layout ^ has to be pressed for times because its an accent and not a simple sign oO
[11:57] <viashino> yeah ...
[11:57] <Bios> that wont help you i guess : D
[11:57] <Bios> what ever
[11:58] <aperson> Bios, actually, I had to install another package, according to my history at least: kde4-window-decorator
[11:58] <aperson> Bios, that or plasma-desktop
[11:58] <viashino> but normally, whe is presses ^ once, it waits for a letter, but when you press again, appears that ^^
[11:58] <Bios> hrm no idea : P
[11:58] <aperson> Bios, I'm not entirely sure, I just remember having to fix things and it taking a while to figure out just what I needed to fix
[11:58] <Bios> btw did you find the bad package?
[11:59] <viashino> can be a weird ram issue ?
[11:59] <aperson> Bios, I just told you what I did...
[11:59] <aperson> robin0800, I'll give that a shot
[11:59] <drag> any body to help me fix my audio please :)

[11:59] <aperson> !ask | drag
[11:59] <Bios> my bad : P
[12:00] <Bios> thx aperson i will give it a try
[12:00] <aperson> robin0800, it's already installed it seems
[12:00] <drag> okei :) .. my sound card is creative soundblaster 5.1 vx and sound is not coming .. i initialized it on xp but on kubuntu no sound :(
[12:01] <drag> how to fix it ? :)
[12:01] <drag> ??
[12:01] <drag> anyone
[12:01] <drag> ?
[12:01] <aperson> !patience | drag
[12:02] <drag> ok :)
[12:03] <b2ag> hi@all
[12:04] <drag> :)
[12:06] <b2ag> yesterday i updated the karmic on my laptop to use kde 4.4 from ppa and since then i sometimes get a black flashing screen and all graphics start to become really wired. colored pixels everywhere. is this a bug or a feature?
[12:06] <aperson> robin0800, it seems I need to create the appropriate desktop files for the screensavers in /usr/share/kde4/services/ScreenSavers/
[12:06] <aperson> fwiw
[12:08] <b2ag> i think its somehow a memory corruption/leak and not just the rendering engine because the messed up icons got cached and remain broken after restarting the machine
[12:09] <pucko-> anyone know why kubuntu wants to remove alot of plasma-packages when upgrading the python-qt4 packages in the recent kde 4.4 repository?
[12:09] <b2ag> after the last crash a few minutes ago plasma-desktop is not able to start again
[12:09] <iconmefisto> b2ag: many people are getting that with 4.4 (me included). if you switch to a VT and then back (alt-ctrl-F1 then alt-ctrl-F7) everything goes back to normal.
[12:10] <b2ag> pucko-: python-qt4 and python-kde from ppa don't like each other in the versions supplied
[12:11] <pucko-> so is python-kde equivalent to python-qt4?
[12:11] <b2ag> pucko-: "remove alot of plasma-packages" is the worsest solution to fix it
[12:11] <b2ag> nope
[12:12] <pucko-> so how do I fix it? (even though it's not that important)
[12:12] <terry_> can i get into my restore for my computer through this program?
[12:12] <b2ag> i had chosen to update python-qt4-dbus, but keep python-qt4 in an older version
[12:12]  * b2ag is afk now
[12:13] <alexander> I recently installed Kubuntu 9.10 and immediately upgraded to KDE SC 4.4 through the backports repository, but the error message that Nepomuk is not running is annoying me, in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/507897 it is said I should install virtuoso-server and virtuoso-drivers, but those refuse to install
[12:13] <oxymoron> pucko-: I just wondered the same thing recently. And is python-q important?
[12:13] <oxymoron> * python-qt4
[12:13] <b2ag> alexander: got to system settings and look at desktop search to enable nepomuk
[12:14]  * b2ag is really afk now
[12:14] <alexander> b2ag: thanks, I’ll try
[12:14] <oxymoron> b2ag: Nepomuk and Akonadi does not work btw anyway so :P
[12:15] <Tm_T> oxymoron: they do
[12:15] <Tm_T> or should
[12:15] <pucko-> seems somewhat important for plasma-stuff and some kde stuff, but I assume it will get fixed upstream quite soon anyway
[12:15]  * oxymoron must have the most beautiful desktop at the moment :P
[12:15] <oxymoron> Tm_T: Really, why does not KMail work with Akonadi then?
[12:16] <pucko-> alexander, it should be enough to install virtuoso-nepomuk I think
[12:17] <oxymoron> Tm_T: It only says, Akonadi and Nepomuk not registered at d-bus
[12:17] <mb74> hi. on shutdown/reboot i see no splash. instead console messages are shown. how can i enable splash screen for shutdown/reboot?
[12:17] <alexander> pucko-: virtuoso-nepomuk already was installed, and I don’t see an option in system settings for desktop search
[12:19] <oxymoron> Btw, while I am still at it, is it possible to skin my Amarok look? I dont like the buttons and layout design, even if the layout itself is aweseom :P
[12:20] <oxymoron> Tm_T: Maybe it will solve when I install Python-qt4-dbus? :P
[12:20] <Bios> aperson didnt work :/
[12:20] <Bios> i cant install plasma-desktop because it says kde workbase is broken or something
[12:20] <aperson> Bios, did you do a dist-upgrade?
[12:21] <Bios> yep
[12:21] <oxymoron> How DO I SOLVE this once and for all: "WARNING: WARNING: /usr/share/pyshared/lsb_release.py is linked but does not belong to any package."? I hate that warning-message
[12:22] <aperson> Bios, can you alt+f2 and run plasma-desktop ?
[12:22] <Bios> nope
[12:22] <Bios> it seems to be uninstalled
[12:22] <Bios> or something
[12:22] <Bios> oO
[12:22] <Bios> its weired
[12:22] <aperson> Bios, alt+f2 and run konsole
[12:22] <aperson> from there, run plasma-desktop
[12:23] <Bios> its not installed anymore it seems the last update removed the installation
[12:23] <Bios> and i cant reinstall it
[12:23] <aperson> Bios, humor me?
[12:23] <Bios> becaus it says that the workbase or something is broken and therefore ...
[12:23] <Bios> no unfortunally no
[12:24] <aperson> Bios, you did exactly what I asked?
[12:24] <aperson> Bios, I need the exact output
[12:24] <oxymoron> Torch: Why do I get this message when I try to post seomthing in #kde: "[13:23:58] [404] oxymoron #kde Cannot send to channel"?
[12:25] <Torch> oxymoron: you need to register your nick
[12:25] <oxymoron> Torch: How do I do that?
[12:25] <Bios> how to access my linux partition via windows? i guess i could check my bash log then
[12:25] <oxymoron> Torch: Nickserv?
[12:25] <Bios> yep
[12:25] <Torch> oxymoron: google for "freenode register nick" or /msg nickserv help
[12:26] <Pliskin> Hi, since the last update (KDE 4.4.0), one click displays directly the ^ and it's very annoying, how can I return to "two clicks = one ^" ?
[12:26] <oxymoron> Torch: Btw, do Y´you have some time to offer and read my posts above regarding python-qt4, Akonadi and Nepomuk?
[12:28] <robin0800> Pliskin: its under mouse in keyboard &mouse in system settings
[12:29] <Torch> oxymoron: install virtuoso-nepomuk if you haven't already
[12:29] <Pliskin> thanks, robin0800 :)
[12:29] <Torch> oxymoron: no idea about the packaging warning.
[12:30] <oxymoron> Torch: And when try to isntall python-qt4 adept backend is trying to delete a lot of KDE4.4 packages that I really need :P
[12:31] <Torch> oxymoron: then the python-qt4 is too old
[12:31] <Torch> oxymoron: mine is 4.7.0-2ubuntu1~karmic3
[12:32] <Pliskin> robin0800, I don't talk about the mouse click ^^
[12:32] <Pliskin> but the ^
[12:32] <oxymoron> Torch: It tries to install: "4.7.0-2ubuntu1~karmic4~ppa1) ..."
[12:32] <oxymoron> Torch: I aborted it though
[12:33] <Torch> oxymoron: use apt-cache policy python-qt4 on a shell to see where it wants to install it from
[12:33] <Torch> oxymoron: remove that repository
[12:35] <oxymoron> Torch: "http://paste.ubuntu.com/376151/", what should I do? :P
[12:36] <Pepcok> hello, could somebody help me? Im new to kubuntu and I accidentally removed the widget thats shows me open programs/windows, how can I restore it? It's not tray
[12:36] <soee> Pepcok: add to panel Task Manager
[12:37] <Pepcok> thank you very much
[12:42] <Pliskin> No one has the same problem with the ^ character ?
[12:47] <Exilant> Pliskin: since kde 4.4 i can no longer use compose, maybe this is related?
[12:48] <Pliskin> compose ? composite ?
[12:49] <iconmefisto> Pliskin: do you have keyboard layouts enabled in systemsettings > regional & language ?
[12:49] <Pliskin> iconmefisto, yes :)
[12:49] <fabio123> i want to disable akonadi
[12:53] <zak_> hi i have downloaded kubuntu,do i have to add some repos as it is the case in opensuse?
[12:53] <oxymoron> Torch: "http://paste.ubuntu.com/376151/", what should I do? :P
[12:54] <zak_> hello?????????,
[12:55] <inclement> zak_: I am no expert, but my understanding is that kubuntu comes with all the repositories you *need*, though you may want to add others for some things
[12:55] <inclement> You probably do want to enable the nonfree repositories
[12:55] <inclement> If you haven't already
[12:56] <inclement> (The default repos only contain completely free programs, no flash etc., I think. There will be an option somewhere in the package manager to add the other repos)
[12:57] <buckfast> I started amarok without mounting the music parition first, so it shows 0 local files. How can I make it update the list again, restarting it doesnt help
[13:00] <iconmefisto> buckfast: in the tools menu, update collection
[13:25] <zak__> hi any body can help me
[13:25] <zak__> just wanna know if there are some repositories to add in kubuntu ?
[13:26] <Vroomfondle> there are various PPAs
[13:26] <zak__> PPA?
[13:26] <Vroomfondle> zak__: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[13:27] <Vroomfondle> basically little repositories run by single developers who want to provide specific applications
[13:27] <zak__> i used to use opensuse , just moved to kububtu , and i need to know what is the package manager we use to install packages
[13:27] <Vroomfondle> KPackageKit from GUI, or aptitude from command-line
[13:27] <jepong> hello guys... can't install 64 bit kubuntu karmic... i always get uncompression error on both livecd and alternate installer
[13:27] <zak__> and waht about kde4 OFFICIAL repos?
[13:28] <Vroomfondle> zak__: the only repo for newer versions of KDE4 is the backports PPA mentioned in the topic of this channel
[13:29] <robin0800> zak__: run kpackagekit and look at software sources
[13:30] <Pliskin> \\[13:30] <Pliskin> oups
[13:31] <Pliskin> sorry
[13:50] <Torch> oxymoron: good question. i don't know. you have the version i have. no idea what the newer one is. i'm not expret enough in  dpkg/apt-get to tell you what to do now.
[13:52] <oxymoron> Torch: Well I updated now and the developers have been solving the dependecy problems I guess now, so now it works to update qt4 and python-qt4/kde4 :) The only thing that is not stable for the moment is Akonadi and Nepomuk, I cant use my Kmail proerly. Its wine:ing about that Akonadi does not register at D-BUS and AKonadi wines over that Nepomuk isnt started but KDE says it is, quite ironic I must say :D
[13:53] <Torch> oxymoron: did you uninstall apparmor? it's misconfigured on kubuntu and interferes with akonadi, afaik. (it's also possible to properly configure it if one wants to keep it installed)
[13:54] <oxymoron> Torch: The solution is to start Kmail, let it crash and start it again and it "works" temporarly :D Oh and btw, when I select actions when moving the mouse pointer to the corners on screen edges in Systemsettings->Apperance somewhere it works for the moement, but when I restart the computer it has been reset, that sucks :( Really nice to move pointer to a croner and then switch to desktop :)
[13:54] <oxymoron> Torch: Shall I uninstall apparmor?
[13:55] <Torch> oxymoron: i'd say yes. no idea if they fixed it, but i had to do that a couple of months ago.
[13:57] <oxymoron> Torch: Alright, I cross my fingers and uninstall apparmor then xD I hope for you that youre right :D
[13:58] <oxymoron> Torch: What then after I have removed apparmor? :P
[13:59] <Torch> oxymoron: http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi
[13:59] <pucko-> I don't think apparmor is the problem with akonandi anymore. as long as you use mysql-akonandi
[14:00] <Torch> oxymoron: there are some troubleshooting suggestions on this page.
[14:08] <oxymoron> Torch: I dont find any? :P I just want a command like "akonadi --fixthisthisplease" :D
[14:09] <Torch> oxymoron: then no one can help you
[14:10] <oxymoron> Torch: Btw, I found an awesome package with more than 1300 absolutely amazing icons, Crystal :) They also have kwin style with Crystal which looks, well I cannot find any words for it, its absolutely amazing and window rendering also goes a lot faster ... when I do not use Oxygen theme ... The only thing I miss now is grouping windows in titlebar :P
[14:11] <pucko-> oxymoron, what errors do you get when you test the db in the akonadi settings?
[14:11] <oxymoron> Torch: Well, I guess i have to wait until they fix Nepomuk and Akonadi properly :) I hope they fix it until Lucid Dream release :)
[14:11] <oxymoron> pucko-: I can give you the errorlog in pastebin instead, much easier ;) One sec
[14:14] <oxymoron> pucko-: Gah damn it, I dont remember path to the config and log files, can you guide me? :P I think there inside ~/.local/share/akonadi somewhere but I dont find them there :P
[14:15] <pucko-> .local/share/akonadi/db_data/mysql.err ?
[14:17] <BluesKaj> howdy
[14:17] <oxymoron> pucko-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/376192/
[14:17] <oxymoron> BluesKaj: Howdy howdy :P
[14:17] <BluesKaj> hi oxymoron
[14:18] <pucko-> that's from last year
[14:18] <oxymoron> BluesKaj: How are you doing? :)
[14:18] <pucko-> not sure I understand, is akonadi running already?
[14:18] <BluesKaj> not bad , how's things with you , oxymoron ?
[14:19] <oxymoron> pucko-: Haha lol, well I guess it is because mysql.err.old file and not mysql.err because there arent anymore since I removed apparmor xD
[14:19] <oxymoron> BluesKaj: I´m happy with my new desktop look and my wonderful girl on Valentines day :)
[14:20] <pucko-> oxymoron, just run the test from the settings-manager of akonadi and look for errors there
[14:21] <oxymoron> pucko-: Where can I found settings-manager for akonadi then? Akonadi tool is not starting, the GUI I mean
[14:21] <pucko-> just go to system settings and click your way through
[14:23] <ubuntu____> can anyone walk me thru restoring grub from within livecd after win7 install?  ive used the web tutorials with no avail
[14:23] <oxymoron> pucko-: Sorry to say but I cannot found any settings for Akonadi in systemsettings anywhere? :S
[14:24] <oxymoron> pucko-: Akonadi also says Nepomuk is not running, but its actually do :P
[14:27] <qwebirc53689> hello
[14:27] <pucko-> oxymoron, you have kdepim-runtime installed?
[14:27] <qwebirc53689> howto install driver nvidia gf mx400 on kubuntu 9.10 offline
[14:27] <qwebirc53689> howto install driver nvidia gf2 mx400 on kubuntu 9.10 offline
[14:28] <oxymoron> pucko-: yes? :)
[14:30] <pucko-> oh well. the kcm module should be there then
[14:32] <robin0800> oxymoron: have you virtuoso-nepomuk package installed?
[14:33] <oxymoron> robin0800: Yes, of course I have? :P Not of course, but yes I do ;)
[14:34] <oxymoron> pucko-: I guess its there but some faultyness somewhere llike ther always is? :D I am not sure if its me or some package bug though :P
[14:34] <robin0800> oxymoron: cant help then because it all works here
[14:34] <siegie> qwebirc53689: Just download http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/nvidia-glx-185 and get all the needed dependencies.
[14:36] <oxymoron> robin0800: What KDE, Akonadi, Nepomuk and *buntu versions do you use then? :) I have everything the latest packages of Karmic backports and KDE 4.4 :) Nepomuk has never been working correct since I installed it, the indexxing service worked after some updates but Akonadi does not syncronize with Nepomuk and Kmail fails all the time and says that Nepomuk and Akonadi is not registered at D-Bus? :S
[14:37] <pucko-> oxymoron, actually. now that you made me look. I can't find it either any more. but I can still reach it from the akonadi systray icon. maybe I remember things wrong.
[14:38] <oxymoron> pucko-: For me there is no Akonadi systray icon at all xD
[14:38] <robin0800> oxymoron: this is on lucid alpha2 and did not work until virtuoso-nepomuk package was added
[14:38] <oxymoron> pucko-: Never mind it was hidden :D
[14:39] <acidtoi> hi guys, i'm in desperate need of help. Last night (yesterday) I turned off Kub via kickoff Shutdown, as usual, and today the system boots only to the tty2 :P I already used dpkg without any success, upgraded some libraries but still keep booting to console tty2
[14:39] <acidtoi> and when sudo kdm start nothing happens
[14:39] <acidtoi> :'(
[14:39] <oxymoron> robin0800: Yeah but Lucid is more stable with KDE4.4 then Karmic is ... xD It did not work even after I installed virtuoso-nepomuk
[14:39] <robin0800> acidtoi: try startx
[14:40] <acidtoi> I spended so much time installing and confiruging this..
[14:40] <pucko-> oxymoron, you can bring it up with kcmshell4 kcm_akonadi
[14:40] <acidtoi> robin0800: ok, I'll try, thanx and sorry for my greeness, i'm a n00b
[14:40] <oxymoron> pucko-: Here is my mysql.err log as you asked me about before :P http://paste.ubuntu.com/376202/
[14:41] <oxymoron> pucko-: Then Akonadi self-test says: "The Nepomuk search service is not registered at D-Bus which typically means it was not started or encountered a fatal error during startup."
[14:41] <pucko-> oxymoron, yeah, I had that same problem earlier. took a while to sort out..
[14:41] <pucko-> never had that dbus error though
[14:41] <oxymoron> pucko-: How to sort out then? :P
[14:42] <oxymoron> pucko-: reinstall dbus? :P
[14:42] <oxymoron> pucko-: And here is my akonadi-server error log: "http://paste.ubuntu.com/376206/"
[14:44] <oxymoron> pucko-: Then this when it said I should run mysql_upgrade: "http://paste.ubuntu.com/376209/"
[14:44] <pucko-> I think it was a permission problem in the db. solved it with a little help from the net somewhere..
[14:46] <oxymoron> pucko-: Do you know something what I could look for on google? :P
[14:47] <pucko-> I think this page got me started http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi , but I guess you've already looked there
[14:48] <pucko-> you can manually create the mysql db and tune the akonadi config as suggested somewhere there I think... but I don't remember what I did exactly.
[14:52] <oxymoron> pucko-: I have been checking in there, but I found some good stuff in troubleshotting section as I didnt find before xD
[14:57] <acidtoi> robin0800: thanks dude! when I did the startx an error shows up  in the xorg.conf file. I added the DontZap line but seems I didn't put where it should be, lol xD THANK YOU VERY MUCH man, you rules =D=D=D
[15:07] <oxymoron> pucko-: It seems like there is some kind of conflict with my LAMP-server and Akonadi ... because both need mysql :D
[15:11] <pucko-> hmm.. I don't see why that should be a problem.
[15:12] <n8w> anyone havin some experience with ibm db2?
[15:12] <vagner> nois na fita
[15:12] <vagner> ma1403
[15:14] <oxymoron> pucko-: How do I enable Akonadi on D-bus?
[15:14] <pucko-> no idea
[15:16] <orion76> Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module": libpk-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[15:16] <orion76> help me ?
[15:18] <oxymoron> pucko-: I think I solved the Nepomuk problem for dbus anyway, but now Akonadi is messing around xD
[15:18] <pucko-> complaining about missing tables?
[15:19] <oxymoron> pucko-: Yes, mysql.plugin ... but running mysql_upgrade to create it does not work ...
[15:19] <oxymoron> pucko-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/376209/
[15:20] <pucko-> yeah, permission problem. been there :-)
[15:21] <pucko-> you should create the tables as user, or settings the grants manually.
[15:24] <pucko-> or you can run mysql in "safe mode" somehow. or reset the password for root. i remember it was quite straight forward once you sorted out the permission problem. sorry I'm not much help.
[15:28] <oxymoron> pucko-: I dont wanna try that out actually, I dont want to mess around with mysql because I am using it for my web project for the moment :P I rather wait and hope someone else solve the problem in later Akonadi release instead :P
[15:29] <pucko-> don't get your hopes up :-)
[15:29] <pucko-> I had that problem about 6 months ago...
[15:47]  * nwaltjr waves hello
[15:47] <nwaltjr> how is everyone today?
[15:47] <Tm_T> we are fine in #kubuntu-offtopic (:)
[15:47]  * Tm_T hides
[15:48] <BluesKaj> Tm_T, yeah, there's o much action in here today :)
[15:48] <BluesKaj> so
[15:48] <Tm_T> I know, it was partly a joke
[15:49] <Tm_T> still, it doesn't hurt to know (and use) that channel
[15:49] <Dev_php> hello everybody! can anyone help to programming???? :)
[15:49] <Dev_php> hello everybody! can anyone help to me programming???? :)
[15:51] <BluesKaj> programming , this is a OS and apps support chat not code
[15:51] <BluesKaj> err Dev_php , read above
[15:52] <BluesKaj> there might be a php support chat on freenode , not sure
[15:53] <Exilant> well there's ##c++ and ##c and #fortran and probably a chan for every other languaga
[15:53] <Tm_T> ##php ?
[15:54] <Dev_php> i'd like programming with php. what do you suggest?
[15:55] <BluesKaj> Dev_php, /join #php
[15:56] <Dev_php> Euh! what do you mean please??
[15:57] <justin_> he means join the php channel
[15:57] <Dev_php> rigth
[15:59] <justin_> on another note, what do i do about logging into GNOME?? i try and it goes through everything up until it all ends back up at the login screen :/
[15:59] <justin_> KDE is a little slow on my system
[15:59] <Tm_T> justin_: how it is slow?
[16:01] <justin_> well, i got a pIII which isnt the best and things just done run so well like when i try to watch a movie i guess simple stuff like irc runs fine
[16:01] <Tm_T> justin_: hmm, so it draws slowly?
[16:02] <justin_> yah
[16:02] <Tm_T> you have desktop effects on?
[16:02] <justin_> no there turned off
[16:03] <Tm_T> hmm, which KDE version that is?
[16:03] <justin_> 4.3.2
[16:04] <Tm_T> try upgrading that first
[16:05] <Tm_T> justin_: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.3.5
[16:06] <justin_> on a related note, seeing as gnome will not work for whatever reason, how do i go about getting rid of it
[16:10] <^Mc_Flex^> hello! i want to format my pendrive in the terminal... i installed this tool:    sudo apt-get install dosfstools
[16:11] <vbgunz__> when trying to add a system task through the normal user systemsettings, I can see the system task *but* I am not allowed to add one. Shouldn't there be a prompt to login as admin somewhere? or do I have to launch systemsettings through kdesudo?
[16:11] <^Mc_Flex^> then.. somebody tought me this command can format it..  mkfs.vfat /dev/sdXX  where XX is my pendrive
[16:12] <^Mc_Flex^> how do i see my pendrive unit's number..
[16:12] <vbgunz__> ^Mc_Flex^: one really easy way to format a disk is using gpart
[16:13] <vbgunz__> I think it is called gparted, not sure
[16:13] <Tm_T> or kfloppy
[16:13] <vbgunz__> its gparted, avoid gpart :)
[16:14] <^Mc_Flex^> ok cool..
[16:14] <vbgunz__> wasn't there a kparted?
[16:15] <vbgunz__> I could have sworn there was once a kpart or something similiar to gparted but using Qt I believe
[16:15] <Vroomfondle> vbgunz__: unmaintained for years
[16:15] <Vroomfondle> last release was 2001 according to its official site
[16:15] <Vroomfondle> see http://www.unmaintained-free-software.org/wiki/KPartEd
[16:15] <vbgunz__> Vroomfondle: yeah I remember I tried using it and it didn't work *but* it was at least pretty ;)
[16:16] <vbgunz__> that's definitely a tool missing from Kubuntu/KDE
[16:16] <vbgunz__> more KDE than anything else I suppose
[16:16] <Tm_T> there's tools
[16:17] <Tm_T> !format
[16:17] <vbgunz__> theres a QtParted?
[16:17] <vbgunz__> gonna check that out
[16:17] <Tm_T> vbgunz__: read again
[16:18] <Tm_T> I have no idea if it's still maintained
[16:18] <vbgunz__> Tm_T: yeah, stopped right there before the (*)
[16:18] <vbgunz__> heh
[16:18] <vbgunz__> gparted does the job perfectly well. you would think KDE would have a module for this at some point
[16:19] <Tm_T> vbgunz__: !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up)
[16:19] <alumno00> hallo. Can any tell me how can I have sound on HDMI? I've a HDA ATI HDMI, KUbuntu 9.04
[16:20] <vbgunz__> Tm_T: nice
[16:21] <vbgunz__> ^Mc_Flex^: you might want to check out partitionmanager thanks to Tm_T, might fit your install just right
[16:35] <fosstux> Hi! Is there a package for kubuntu wallpapers?
[16:35] <fosstux> I can find ubuntu-wallpapers and ubuntustudio-wallpapers
[16:36] <Tm_T> fosstux: kde-artwork ?
[16:36] <seba__> hi
[16:36] <iconmefisto> !kdewallpapers
[16:36] <Tm_T> !info kde-artwork
[16:36] <littlegirl> Not a package, but a great resource: http://www.kde-look.org/
[16:36] <Tm_T> hmmmh
[16:37] <iconmefisto> !info kdewallpapers
[16:37] <ToxinPowe> somebody can tell me how install this -> http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Glass+Dust?content=117043 ?
[16:38] <Tm_T> iconmefisto: thanks (:
[16:38] <iconmefisto> Tm_T: kdeartwork now (no hyphen)
[16:39] <fosstux> I mean Artwork with kubuntu logo etc
[16:40] <Tm_T> iconmefisto: yeah, I always forget that
[16:41] <robin0800> fosstux: use kpackage kit and search for wallpaper
[16:44] <fosstux> robin0800: thx - but no luck...
[16:51] <somekool> hi there ! seems like there is something broken around korundum packages for kde 4.4.0 under kubuntu.
[17:01] <alvin> Can someone tell me if I ran into a bug or if I'm doing something wrong in KDE 4.4. I added an addressbook (IMAP resource), but addresses are not being saved. The error is: No writable resource was found, saving will not be possible. Reconfigure KMail first. (KMail IS configured for use with IMAP groupware functionality)
[17:08] <bbigras> someone knows if debfx's awesome Firefox packges with KDE integration works with FF 3.6?
[17:09] <iconmefisto> bbigras: kde integration? what firefox packages are those?
[17:11] <enkidu> hi there. I installed backport of kde 4.4 and my system cannot restart - udev or/and hal are not starting. sameone can help?
[17:13] <Oxymoron> FINALLY Akonadi works .... xD I had to remove every single config folder and recreate them :P
[17:13] <alvin> No, it doesn't. I can't save contacts on an IMAp resource
[17:14] <AzikaCorp> Hi. I tried to install kde 4.4 and After a restart, my background was black
[17:15] <buckfast> If I upgraded to KDE4.4 using backports, am I supposed to keep the backports in the repositories and keep getting updates from there?
[17:16] <Oxymoron> I still got some new mysql errors though: "http://paste.ubuntu.com/376304/", help would be appreciated :) Thats the only error I got from Akonadi now :)
[17:19] <AzikaCorp> Hi. I tried to install kde 4.4 and After a restart, my background was black. is there someone who met the same problem ?
[17:21] <Guest96238> trolling
[17:22] <AzikaCorpPlus> hello
[17:22] <dee84> hi
[17:22] <AzikaCorpPlus> dee84 hi
[17:22] <AzikaCorpPlus> dee84 how are you?
[17:22] <dee84> hello
[17:22] <AzikaCorpPlus> dee84 hello
[17:23] <dee84> Just installed Konversation and was trying it out.
[17:24] <AzikaCorpPlus> dee84 what?  tell me about you life better
[17:27] <ApuX> mooin
[17:28] <alvin> My panels and plasma just crashed. Only this window remain. I can use krunner. What is the command to start plasma again?
[17:28] <bbigras> iconmefisto: sorry for the delay, https://launchpad.net/~debfx/+archive/firefox-kde . It worked perfectly with FF 3.5 and it was super awesome
[17:29] <alvin> I'm just going to restart kdm and file a bug if I can reproduce. (All I did was stop and start compositing)
[17:29] <iconmefisto> bbigras: yep, just installed it :) firefox is restarting right now
[17:29] <bbigras> alvin: the command is plasma-desktop
[17:30] <alvin> bbigras: thx. I'm back. I'll try to reproduce teh crash first
[17:31] <fabio123> alvin: it's not hard
[17:31] <alvin> ok, crash occurs when clicking 'suspend compositing' It's reproducable
[17:32] <fabio123> alvin: without compositing kde looks bad
[17:33] <alvin> fabio123: Without compositing, there is no KDE here, so that is a bug. I disabled it because some programs with wine can't handle it.
[17:34] <Concretesledge> Hello
[17:34] <fabio123> alvin: maybe it's just the theme used
[17:35] <Concretesledge> I have kubuntu 9.04 installed, but when i try to install nvidia graphics drivers 185(Recommended) it says push activate, but it does nothing
[17:39] <alvin> fabio: It's the default theme
[17:41] <fabio123> alvin: you want to use kde without compositing but you can't
[17:41] <fabio123> ?
[17:42] <alvin> fabio: Nono, I can. Only, it crashes after disabling. If I then run 'plasma-desktop', I have KDE without comositing. Only, I don't like the crash. I find the Akonadi bug where I can't write to an IMAP resource much worse.
[17:42] <frodoleggins> guys, I've a vodafone internet key that, once connected, freeze my desktop
[17:44] <iconmefisto> bbigras: doesn't seem to work for me. I don't get kde file dialogs
[17:44] <fabio123> alvin: plasma is not very stable on kde 4.4.
[17:44] <alvin> Aha, after the crash, global shortcuts aren't working anymore
[17:44] <bbigras> iconmefisto: did you install the firefox-3.5-kde package?
[17:44]  * alvin is rebooting kdm
[17:45] <fabio123> frodoleggins: dmesg | tail will give you a clue
[17:46] <iconmefisto> bbigras: thanks. it upgraded firefox and I assumed that was it. so will I have 2 separate firefoxes when I install the kde one?
[17:46] <frodoleggins> fabio123: on reboot? 'cause when karmic freeze the only thing I can do is to shutdown pc
[17:46] <frodoleggins> fabio123: I cannot enter neither in tty
[17:47] <fabio123>  fabio123: what internet key do u have?
[17:47] <Concretesledge> no Video on kubuntu , nvidia 9800GT, 185 (Recommended) when i click Activate NOTHING Happens for liek 3 hours.
[17:47] <frodoleggins> fabio123: vodafone k371
[17:48] <fabio123> ctrl+alt+f1?
[17:48] <frodoleggins> niente
[17:48] <frodoleggins> ops, :) nothing
[17:48] <Concretesledge> i still have access to my PC, but.. it doesn't want to install the nvidia drivers..
[17:48] <frodoleggins> only thing is to shut down
[17:52] <fabio123> frodoleggins: sudo tailf /var/log/messages
[17:54] <fabio123> before you insert the key you can read something there
[17:54] <frodoleggins> before I insert the key there's no problem
[17:55] <frodoleggins> 2  minutes after connect the key my system freeze and I cannot do anything so I can't see what log says
[17:55] <fabio123> 2  minutes is a lot of time, you can read there what is going on
[17:56] <bbigras> iconmefisto: I don't remember if I had 2 separate firefoxes
[17:57] <frodoleggins> fabio123: ok, thank you
[18:11] <ilumi> can someone tell me how to turn off the thing that changes some words to images, like "me" is a big "Me" with hearts around it, in kopete, blah
[18:12] <mauri> is it possibile to have an entire distribution under a folder instead in the root of a partition?
[18:13] <ilumi> mauri: like in a windows folder?
[18:14] <mauri> ilumi: a generic folder, the important is not in the root
[18:14] <izzyb> mauri: did linuxfromscratch.org help any?
[18:15] <izzyb> There was also a way to run linux inside linux, and I think you could also do it inside windows, but I never played with it and don't recall the name off hand
[18:15] <izzyb> I would imagine that would have some info that would help
[18:15] <mauri> izzyb: i have tried to see it... but there is no point about changing of root position
[18:15] <izzyb> I'm not talking about virtualization btw
[18:15] <mcurran> anyone here have a script that sorts the icons after x starts - I'm running kde3 and my top panel covers my desktop icons after I start up.  So I need a command/script I can put in the autostart folder.
[18:16] <ilumi> mauri: i guess it could be doable, why do you want to do it that way
[18:16] <izzyb> mauri: search through to where they talk about chroot and initrd.  specifically the script they create for the startup in initrd
[18:18] <MaximB> hi
[18:19] <MaximB> I've installed kde from the backreports (on ubuntu 64-bit) , but when I login to the kde session , the screen goes blank but I can still move the mouse and sometimes popups appear
[18:19] <MaximB> kde 4.4
[18:19] <mauri> izzyb: ok i will ddo
[18:20] <mauri> ilumi: it want to be only a trial......it is the first step to have 2 distro in the same partition
[18:20] <MaximB> and I cannot restart the x server by crtl+alt+backspace like I can with gnome - so all I can do is reboot
[18:20] <izzyb> mauri: I'm trying to find the info on that other option I was talking about.  trying to remember the name
[18:20] <izzyb> If I find it I'll post a link for you
[18:21] <izzyb> mauri: why do you want to do this btw?
[18:21] <izzyb> it seems like a very odd thing to do
[18:21] <_nik_> MaximB: try alt+print+k
[18:21] <MaximB> _nik_: for restarting x ?
[18:21] <_nik_> yes
[18:22] <human> I have a great problem, help!
[18:22] <MaximB> well, I still see only black on kde... why ?
[18:22] <MaximB> my nvidia drivers are working on gnome
[18:22] <human> MaximB, type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[18:23] <mcurran> Maxim8 what chip/card is it
[18:23] <mauri> izzyb: if it will be hard to do.... i will leave my idea. What i want is to have 2 distro in the same partition....just a trial
[18:23] <MaximB> thanks human
[18:23] <izzyb> why not just divide up the partition into to?
[18:23] <MaximB> strange that it didn't suggest it when I've installed kde
[18:23] <izzyb> This other project I was talking about may be the better option for you then anyway
[18:24] <izzyb> or perhaps virtualization?
[18:24] <mcurran> Maxim8 - You may need to enter Option "AllowARGBVisuals" "True" and Option "AllowARGBLXVisuals" "True" to your screen section of xorg.conf
[18:24] <human> MaximB I have just had this problem
[18:24] <izzyb> mauri: kvm works great if you have a cpu with hardware virtualization
[18:24] <MaximB> human:  but why do I need a whole kubuntu and not just kde ?
[18:24] <human> I do not know
[18:25] <ilumi> mauri: check this, maybe youll get some info u need http://www.hentzenwerke.com/wp/installingmultiplelinuxdistributions_onasinglebox.pdf
[18:25] <Oxymoron> Torch: Hi, I just wanted to say I figured out how to fix Akonadi :P It wasnt pretty but I just removed every single config file in ~/.config/akonadi and ~/.local/share/akonadi
[18:25] <human> Help me, I cannot understand. I have "Show folder" plasmoid. If I move mouse over a file sign I see the '+" sign at the top left corner and I can change the sign to '-'. But I cannot understand what does the '+' or '-' mean.
[18:26] <ilumi> human: you select multiple files with that if you have single click enabled
[18:26] <iconmefisto> human: the + and - is to select and unselect files
[18:27] <izzyb> human: I think you have to drage it to the desktop or a pannel bar
[18:27] <human> Oh! I'll try to copy them...
[18:27] <izzyb> assuming I'm understanding what you're talking about
[18:27] <MaximB> ok, time for the kde test . see you
[18:28] <human> Yes, you have understood me! Thank you, gentlemen.
[18:28] <izzyb> np
[18:28] <izzyb> the plus minus thing is a little confusing.  I'm still not sure what its for but I figured out the drag and drop thing :)
[18:29] <izzyb> and what's with the star?
[18:29] <human> I have just moved three files I marked with plus
[18:29] <ilumi> izzyb: if you want to select 3 files for example to copy or whatever, you click + on all 3 files,
[18:30] <izzyb> oh, ic.
[18:30] <izzyb> I'm still playing so many tricks still to learn :)
[18:30] <mauri> izzyb: thanl a lot for the second time......
[18:30] <human> I have understood it. Another problem. Why plasmoids are not installed all. Some are installed, some not. I want to install more powerful Luna plasmoid and have downloaded it but I cannot lay it into my desktop
[18:31] <izzyb> mauri: np, still looking for that other project.  I think it'll do exactly what you want.  I never played with it myself but remember thinking it was a cool idea.  then I learned about virtualization and never went back! :)
[18:34] <izzyb> mauri: found it!  User-mode Linux http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/
[18:34] <mischasworld> hello, anny nepomuk specialists on board? I'm running karmic with kde sc 4.4 and  nepomuk doesn't find anything, db should be in the nwe format (deleted the old one) and strigi is indexing?
[18:36] <izzyb> mauri: if you have hardware virtualization support (available in most newer CPUs I think), then check out linux KVM virtualization and the libvirt tools
[18:37] <izzyb> there is a bit of a learning curve, but its not that bad and there are plenty of docs explaining it
[18:39] <mauri> izzyb: i dontt know how to thank your for your patience and availabilty
[18:39] <jhutchins_lt> What's the default user/password on the live CD?
[18:39] <izzyb> well, its all in the timing!  I just happen to be here and just happened to know some answers for you :)
[18:40] <izzyb> I think it's a blank password, but don't recall the user name.  kubuntu maybe?
[18:41] <izzyb> or user
[18:42] <jhutchins_lt> Trying to access a live CD system via ssh.
[18:43] <izzyb> oh, I think you need to set a password for that to work
[18:43] <izzyb> and from the cd you should be able to cat /etc/password to find the user name
[18:43] <jhutchins_lt> Yeah, I guess so.
[18:44] <jhutchins_lt> Unfortunately the system has a lousy local interface.
[18:44] <izzyb> mauri: This may be of interest to you.  explains many options for using kvm for virtualization.  I use libvirt, but I see there are other options. http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/virtualization.html
[18:44] <jhutchins_lt> Sigh.  Off to the basement.
[18:45] <mauri> izzyb: ok.... you are giving me a lot of inputs....;-)
[18:48] <izzyb> mauri: yeah, there are many ways to do what you want, there's also xen which is cool, but I never got it going myself.  It can do what kvm can do even without hardware support
[18:48] <lalalol> hi there, i installed kubuntu but it cant find my wireless, im using the internet via the cable now
[18:48] <lalalol> who can help me and tell me what to do?
[18:49] <izzyb> look in the hardware drivers app for non-free supported drivers for it
[18:49] <izzyb> bbiab
[18:50] <mauri> izzyb: ok izzyb now itìs time for dinner......thanks again nad bye
[18:50] <lalalol> where is the hardware driver app?
[18:51] <MuffinPimp> lalalol: run /usr/bin/jocky-kde in konsole
[18:52] <lalalol> no such file or directory it says
[18:52] <alexxio> do you know how can i switch off wireless from X ? is there a shell command or a desktop button?
[18:52] <MuffinPimp> wut?
[18:52] <izzyb> under the k menu, applications->System->Hardware Drivers
[18:53] <alexxio> ok, there's nothing like a fast button, just lke the bluetooth one?
[18:53] <lalalol> its searching
[18:54] <lalalol> it says no drivers in use
[18:54] <izzyb> alexxio: in the tray area you should find an icon that lets you dissable wireless
[18:54] <ilumi> what software can i use to capture webcam video?
[18:54] <izzyb> lalalol: does it see one available?
[18:54] <alexxio> ilumi: cheese
[18:54] <lalalol> nothing
[18:54] <lalalol> the 2 lists are empty
[18:55] <izzyb> ilumi: cheese comes to mind
[18:55] <udayan> im trying to remotely launch a kvm vm and i get "could not initialize sdl  - exiting" pls help
[18:56] <lalalol> izzyb, hurry plz
[18:56] <udayan> please
[18:56] <ilumi> izzyb: lol, what kind of cheese are you talking about
[18:57] <lalalol> ilumi the prog is called cheese
[18:57] <lalalol> izzyb: what to do
[18:57] <ilumi> lalalol: okeydokey
[18:57] <izzyb> lalalol: what does lspci say about your wireless device
[18:57] <lalalol> ispci?
[18:57] <izzyb> lspci from the konsole
[18:58] <lalalol> a lot
[18:58] <izzyb> lspci lists all the devices found on the pcibus, look for something that looks like a wireless device
[18:59] <izzyb> then you'll have to google the name it comes up with
[18:59] <ilumi> lalalol: it says gnome app, does it matter?
[18:59] <lalalol> no ilumi
[18:59] <ilumi> lalalol: k, thanks
[18:59] <izzyb> ilumi: you can mix gnome and kde apps, it just means you end up with both libs on your system
[19:00] <lalalol> bbl
[19:00] <lalalol> gotta load my battery
[19:00] <lalalol> oh wait
[19:00]  * izzyb waves
[19:00] <lalalol> bbl
[19:31] <Brhad56> Happy <3 day
[19:33] <alexxio> what is the way to make system does not require password so much frequently? i shoudl insert the admin pass even if i want to change power profile!! duh!! please help me disable it
[19:34] <nonameNN> alexxio: modify sudo... sudo visudo and at the end of line change ALL for NOPASS:ALL
[19:35] <nonameNN> alexxio: %admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL it should look something like this
[19:35] <alexxio> root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
[19:35] <alexxio> ok
[19:35] <alexxio> i see
[19:35] <nonameNN> alexxio: be careful with that file... just dont try to guess
[19:36] <alexxio> :)
[19:36] <alexxio> lucky me!
[19:36] <nonameNN> i also hate to type passwords all the time
[19:37] <alexxio> thank you
[19:37] <alexxio> even everytime i mount a filesystem .. :/
[19:38] <Brhad56> k9copy keeps crashing on me.  Anyone know of something similar/better?
[19:38] <nonameNN> alexxio: no problem
[19:39] <iconmefisto> Brhad56: dvd95 (but I don't think it's better than k9copy)
[19:40] <izzyb> nonameNN, alexxio Be careful with that, without a password anything you run can gain root which will make your linux system as prone to attack as a Windows machine
[19:40] <alexxio> just modifying that string make my system prone?
[19:41] <alexxio> isn't there a middle way?? :D
[19:41] <izzyb> yes, because a script can get it and do things as root without you realizing it
[19:41] <izzyb> well, it just means you have to be sure you trust everything you run as your main account
[19:42] <izzyb> if you download a script from the net, or a program or whatever, it could screw your system just like in windows
[19:42] <nonameNN> izzyb: alexxio, well... not if u dont enable ssh via web or anything like that, plus u still need to access ass admin user... and gdm or kdm can be set to ask for a password... plus if u are the only one in the pc........
[19:42] <izzyb> If you need root for a long period of time you can open a root shell then only enter the password once
[19:42] <Brhad56> turns out i didn't have libdvdcss2 installed.  works fine now.   Thanks iconmefisto
[19:42] <izzyb> sudo su -
[19:43] <lalalol> hi im back
[19:43] <Darkrift2> when i close kmail, its not staying in the tray, anyone know how to fix this?
[19:43] <nonameNN> izzyb: alexxio i mean, u still need to login..., let say i love the way sudo works now...
[19:43] <lalalol> izzyb: i really dont know what device i should choose
[19:43] <izzyb> nonameNN: the issue comes down to what you run as your user account
[19:43] <izzyb> I download and run scripts all the time.  I'd never do that if I took out the password requirement for sudo
[19:43] <izzyb> I want to know when something I'm running wants to have root
[19:43] <nonameNN> izzyb: im not an user, im an admin, and probably dont do what u do
[19:44] <izzyb> If I'm doing a bunch of things as root, I just do sudo su - and that makes my shell a root shell
[19:44] <iconmefisto> Darkrift2: you've enabled the tray icon in kmail settings?
[19:44] <Darkrift2> no, i looked for one but didnt see it
[19:44] <izzyb> of course you want to be careful with that also, but at least you can keep better control on it that way
[19:44] <Darkrift2> and dont remember how i did it on my last laptop
[19:44] <lalalol> izzyb: hurry
[19:44] <iconmefisto> Darkrift2: in miscellaneous I think
[19:45] <Exilant> izzyb: sudo -i also works
[19:45] <izzyb> sudo -i, hmm, me checks
[19:45] <Darkrift2> ahhh, found it
[19:45] <izzyb> lalalol: sorry, what wifi card do you have?  did you find it in lspci?
[19:46] <lalalol> no izzyb i cant find it
[19:46] <iconmefisto> Darkrift2: kmail settings, appearance, system tray tab
[19:46] <lalalol> but its prob in there tho
[19:46] <lalalol> is it pci bridge?
[19:46] <lalalol> usb controller?
[19:46] <lalalol> sata stuff?
[19:46] <izzyb> you'll have to figure out which one it is, maybe cut and paste it to pastbin
[19:47] <lalalol> what is pastbin
[19:47] <iconmefisto> lalalol: try  lshw -c network
[19:48] <lalalol> and then?
[19:48] <iconmefisto> lalalol: that should show your network interfaces
[19:48] <lalalol> and what do i do with it?
[19:48] <izzyb> lalalol: you need to find out what wireless device you have so you can find out what drivers you need
[19:49] <lalalol> but i cant find out
[19:49] <lalalol> im a total newb
[19:49] <iconmefisto> lalalol: or try this: lspci | grep -i network
[19:50] <lalalol> i got an answer
[19:50] <lalalol> Network controller blablabla
[19:50] <lalalol> and network is in reed
[19:50] <lalalol> red*
[19:51] <izzyb> lalalol: run the command above and paste the output at pastibin. paste.ubuntu.com
[19:51] <iconmefisto> lalalol: so what does that line say? you can paste here if it's just one line
[19:51] <lalalol> i cant copy paste :s
[19:51] <lalalol> 0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 01)
[19:52] <izzyb> highlight the text and click the middle button in your irc chat window
[19:52] <izzyb> k, google bcm4312
[19:52] <iconmefisto> lalalol: same as mine :)
[19:52] <lalalol> now what?
[19:53] <izzyb> http://www.google.ca/search?q=kubuntu+bcm4312&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[19:53] <izzyb> that first one looks like a good start
[19:54] <lalalol> woah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! insane i get a preview when hovering
[19:54] <izzyb> comment #3 may be what you want
[19:54] <izzyb> yeah, I'm not sure I like that feature.
[19:55] <izzyb> I end up with stuff poping up if the text scrolls with the mouse pointer on the window
[19:55] <lalalol> its awesome it owns xchat
[19:55] <izzyb> It is cool, I just have to learn to keep the mouse pointer off my chat window
[19:56] <lalalol> it asks for pass afyter the 1st line of code
[19:56] <izzyb> that's because of sudo
[19:56] <lalalol> should i enter it?
[19:56] <izzyb> so enter your user password to give permision for root access
[19:56] <lalalol> k
[19:57] <lalalol> it doesn,t type
[19:57] <izzyb> that's what you want because if you didn't know what you typed needed root, you should second guess the source
[19:58] <lalalol> so i do sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:58] <lalalol> i enter pass
[19:58] <izzyb> apt-get upgrade will make sure you have the latest code installed for all installed programs
[19:58] <iconmefisto> I don't think that will work unless you've already installed the driver
[19:59] <izzyb> its generally safe to run, although I don't know if it will fix this problem for you
[19:59] <izzyb> Its the second line I was thinking you should run
[19:59] <izzyb> I missread that as apt-get update
[19:59] <izzyb> which you should run actually
[19:59] <lalalol> Sorry, try again.
[19:59] <lalalol> oh
[19:59] <lalalol> 2nd line ok
[19:59] <izzyb> so change that to sudo apt-get update, then do that aptitude line
[19:59] <izzyb> no problem, my mistake
[20:00] <izzyb> wifi can be a bit of a problem, I have the BCM4311, and had to fight with it for several hours before it worked
[20:01] <izzyb> if you're lucky enough to have a wifi device with open source drivers, then it just works usually
[20:01] <izzyb> lalalol: sorry, you wont see what you type when it asks for the password.
[20:01] <lalalol> it always says srr try again
[20:01] <iconmefisto> lalalol: have you tried using Hardware Drivers to install it?
[20:01] <izzyb> when you type the password
[20:01] <Biosftw> My desktop search is not wirking in dolphin (nepomuk is activated, and searching is working in krunner)
[20:01] <lalalol> yes it doesnt show anything in the list
[20:02] <lalalol> wtf now it asked my pass for it
[20:02] <lalalol> and before it didnt ask my pass
[20:02] <lalalol> im trying hardware drivers atm
[20:02] <lalalol> ok even with my pass entered the 2 lists are empty
[20:03] <izzyb> when you use sudo the first time, it remembers you entered your password for a period of time, before it asks again
[20:03] <izzyb> that way you don't need to type the password every time if you have many commands to run
[20:03] <iconmefisto> lalalol: there's a text version of that hardware drivers program, it is usually more reliable
[20:04] <izzyb> iconmefisto: really?  what's it called?
[20:04] <lalalol> brb gotta load ùmy batterty
[20:04] <iconmefisto> izzyb: jockey-text
[20:04] <izzyb> cool, /me tries
[20:05] <izzyb> hmm, doesn't do anything for me
[20:05] <iconmefisto> izzyb: jockey-text --list
[20:05] <iconmefisto> izzyb: jockey-text --help to see all the options
[20:05]  * izzyb found jockey-text --help :)
[20:07] <berserkfury> Hay everyone, I can't seem to activate my ATI drivers after reinstalling kubuntu, is there a way around this?
[20:09] <iconmefisto> berserkfury: proprietary fglrx driver?
[20:10] <berserkfury> Hmmm
[20:11] <iconmefisto> berserkfury: what do you do to activate the ati driver?
[20:11] <berserkfury> Right
[20:11] <nonameNN> any nice icon theme for kde 4.4?
[20:11] <berserkfury> I go to hardware drivers and then hit activate
[20:12] <iconmefisto> berserkfury: so the driver is listed, but you can't enable it?
[20:12] <berserkfury> right
[20:13] <iconmefisto> berserkfury: try the text version of hardware drivers: sudo jockey-text -C
[20:13] <berserkfury> Also I updated before activating it. is that why?
[20:13] <berserkfury> Okay
[20:13] <berserkfury> Thank yoiu
[20:14] <berserkfury> This can't be right, it returned this "There is no available graphics driver for your system which supports the composite extension, or the current one already supports it."
[20:16] <nonameNN> berserkfury: what video card u have? is it a fresh install?
[20:16] <iconmefisto> berserkfury: try jockey-text --list   to get a list of available drivers. I think the open source ati driver supports compositing too
[20:16] <berserkfury> I have an ATI HD 4570
[20:17] <nonameNN> berserkfury: are u using propetary drivers?
[20:18] <simonj> y0
[20:18] <simonj> I have a strange problem...
[20:19] <berserkfury> nonameNN Umm I don't know what you mean
[20:19] <simonj> My resolution won't go higher than 600x480 yet my screens native resolution is 1024x768.
[20:19] <iconmefisto> !resolution | simonj
[20:19] <simonj> I've been into the nVidia X-settings and kubuntu's built in one, isn't there a config file somewhere i can edit to trick the system?
[20:20] <simonj> Oh, thanks
[20:20] <nonameNN> berserkfury: check hardware drivers and thrid-party and proprietary drivers on the menu... u should use those
[20:20] <iconmefisto> simonj: the xrandr command is the solution basically
[20:21] <simonj> I going admit i'm an idiot when it comes to Linux, would the article tell me about Xrandr/
[20:21] <iconmefisto> nonameNN: the ati driver is listed, but won't activate
[20:22] <simonj> lol, ati and linux
[20:22] <mcurran> Anyone solve the desktop icon placement issue yet (workaround)?
[20:22] <iconmefisto> simonj: yes. and once you've figured out the right xrandr command, you need to put it in a startup file so it works when you boot or log in
[20:22] <nonameNN> iconmefisto: check software sources and try again... also u can install synaptic and find them there just search for ur card....
[20:22] <simonj> Cheers man
[20:23] <simonj> I'm trying to edit the Xconf like the article says
[20:23] <berserkfury> I haven't had any problems untill I did a fresh install and updated before activating the drivers
[20:23] <mcurran> Yes I need the command though.
[20:23] <iconmefisto> nonameNN: just filling you in on berserkfury's problem. my drivers are fine :)
[20:23] <lalalol> back
[20:23] <simonj> WB
[20:23] <lalalol> iconmefisto: what to do?
[20:24] <davyde> hi i'm trying to install kmuddyi shoud use cmake but it give me a error what i should do?
[20:24] <iconmefisto> lalalol: in konsole: jockey-text --list
[20:24] <berserkfury> The last time I did a fresh install ( that was like an day ago) I avtivated my drivers first
[20:24] <berserkfury> then I did updates
[20:24] <iconmefisto> lalalol: you should see kmod:wl listed
[20:25] <berserkfury> but I did it the other way around this time
[20:25] <lalalol> iconmefisto: it displays nothing
[20:26] <iconmefisto> berserkfury: that could be a problem. I think there is a bug in the current hardware drivers app
[20:26] <vessel> hey all
[20:26] <nonameNN> berserkfury: try installing synaptic and find the drivers there...
[20:26] <vessel> can anyone please help me with a networking issue in kubuntu 9.10
[20:26] <berserkfury> iconmefisto: Ok
[20:26] <vbgunz> what is the best way to go about finding the latest version of a package e.g. linux-headers-2.6.31-15-generic
[20:27] <iconmefisto> lalalol: try this: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-modaliases bcmwl-kernel-source
[20:28] <lalalol> iconmefisto: wait, im gonna install skype first, which os i pick?
[20:28] <lalalol> ubuntu?
[20:28] <iconmefisto> lalalol: yes
[20:28] <lalalol> ok
[20:29] <nonameNN> berserkfury: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[20:30] <nonameNN> !ATI | berserkfury
[20:30] <mcurran> vbgunz - The latest version would be available on the package creators site - I think synaptic will always show one version and it will be the latest that was adopted in the repo.
[20:31] <iconmefisto> berserkfury: you could probably just install xorg-driver-fglrx
[20:31] <mcurran> aptitude want necessarily have the latest version
[20:32] <nonameNN> !intel
[20:33] <iconmefisto> lalalol: do you know if you have 32bit or 64bit kubuntu installed?
[20:33] <lalalol> it says: 1 running job 0 sec remaining
[20:33] <lalalol> 32bit
[20:33] <MaximB> hi people
[20:34] <MaximB> kde 4.4 seems to work fine
[20:34] <iconmefisto> lalalol: ok, and you downloaded 32bit skype?
[20:34] <axiom> Should I expect sound from flash, and sound from kaffeine to work at the same time? (64-bit install for both)
[20:34] <lalalol> i downloaded skype and it suddenly stopped so i deleted it and now in my systray it keeps saying 1 running job 0 sec remaining
[20:34] <MaximB> but I have a little problem at the bottom panel - I see windows and also other icons - they on top of each other
[20:34] <lalalol> i downloaded 32bit yes
[20:36] <vbgunz> mcurran: thanks
[20:36] <antoranz> Hi, guys!
[20:36] <antoranz> I need a little help over here. I uploaded to kde 4.4 on karmic
[20:36] <antoranz> but I don't get to see anything of the desktop after the update
[20:36] <berserkfury> Okay!~ Im just going to reinstall kubuntu and see what happens
[20:36] <berserkfury> +_+
[20:36] <antoranz> I can see aplications running, but no background, bottom bar, menu, nothing
[20:37] <antoranz> I can't even r/bin/plasma-desktop as the file is not there
[20:37] <iconmefisto> berserkfury: try installing xorg-driver-fglrx first
[20:37] <antoranz> but kdebase-workspace-bin is there
[20:38] <alvin> Starting Kopete launches Kontact now? Isn't that a bit over the top
[20:38] <antoranz> I even tried reinstalling the package to see if the file showed up but didn't work
[20:38] <lalalol> iconmefisto: dude help plz
[20:38] <iconmefisto> lalalol: with skype?
[20:39] <lalalol> with the systray
[20:39] <lalalol> it keeps saying 1 running job 0 sec remaining
[20:39] <iconmefisto> lalalol: do you see pause and stop buttons in the notification?

[20:40] <iconmefisto> lalalol: not really a problem anyway
[20:40] <lalalol> iconmefisto: so i download it again?
[20:41] <iconmefisto> lalalol: yes
[20:41] <lalalol> ok
[20:42] <antoranz> strange. plasma-desktop (the package) wasn't installed.
[20:42] <iconmefisto> antoranz: maybe the upgrade didn't complete?
[20:43] <antoranz> Probably.... I forgot that I was dist-upgrading when I turned off the machine yesterday... but no packages were broken when i continued the dist-upgrade a while ago.
[20:43] <antoranz> Also, when I tried to look for plasma-desktop with apt-file, kdebase-workspace-bin was reported, not plasma-desktop
[20:44] <antoranz> anyway.... let's see if kde starts fully now. Thanks for listening, anyhow. :-)

[20:50] <MaximB> help ?
[20:52] <iconmefisto> MaximB: I had something like that when I did the upgrade, but I'm not sure what I did to fix it :(
[20:52] <MaximB> iconmefisto: by removing the panel and readding it ?
[20:53] <darthanubis> love 4.4
[20:54] <MaximB> also vlc never goes full screen for some reason (the panels are always on the way).... any ideas ?
[20:54] <MaximB> other players work fine
[20:54] <iconmefisto> MaximB: I think I renamed ~.kde/share/config/plasmarc then logged in again, but after that I restored plasmarc and it worked fine. I also did apt-get purge kdm and reinstalled kdm
[20:54] <lalalol> iconmefisto: back to my internet problem now
[20:55] <iconmefisto> lalalol: try this: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-modaliases bcmwl-kernel-source
[20:55] <chuckf> MaximB: what i did to fix that problem was remove the 'top' panel
[20:56] <iconmefisto> lalalol: then when they are installed, try again: jockey-text --list
[20:56] <Guest66434> can anybody help with my broadcom wifi it doesnt work
[20:56] <lalalol> bcmwl-modaliases is already the newest version.
[20:56] <MaximB> chuckf: removed the top panel - no diff
[20:57] <Guest66434> i have tried everything but it doesnt work
[20:57] <iconmefisto> lalalol: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

[20:58] <iconmefisto> lalalol: jockey-text --list
[20:59] <iconmefisto> lalalol: does it show kmod:wl now?
[20:59] <lalalol> nothing
[20:59] <lalalol> :(
[21:00] <iconmefisto> lalalol: this is a laptop, yes?
[21:00] <lalalol> yes it is
[21:00] <iconmefisto> lalalol: is there a way to turn on/off the wifi? a key combo or a switch?
[21:01] <lalalol> iconmefisto: dunno
[21:02] <iconmefisto> lalalol: you could try just enabling the driver, but it should show up in the list too
[21:02] <lalalol> where
[21:02] <iconmefisto> lalalol: sudo jockey-text -e kmod:wl
[21:03] <lalalol> Unknown driver: kmod:wl
[21:03] <lalalol> Use --list to see available drivers
[21:05] <iconmefisto> lalalol: do you have "restricted" enabled in apt sources?
[21:05] <lalalol> whats apt sources?
[21:06] <iconmefisto> lalalol: it's the download sources for installing software. type alt+F2 and type kpackagekit
[21:07] <lalalol> its opened
[21:07] <lalalol> now what
[21:07] <iconmefisto> lalalol: then go to settings, and click edit software sources
[21:07] <lalalol> go on
[21:07] <iconmefisto> proprietary drivers for devices (restricted) should have a tick
[21:08] <lalalol> its ticked with a V sign yes
[21:12] <MaximB> btw , where is the add/remove apps gone ?
[21:15] <lalalol> ok first: how do i change my keyboard to a full functioning azerty?
[21:19] <iconmefisto> lalalol: try loading the driver manually: sudo modprobe wl
[21:19] <lalalol> FATAL: Module wl not found.
[21:19] <iconmefisto> didn't think that would work
[21:21] <lalalol> give me a full functioning azerty keyboard first plz
[21:21] <iconmefisto> MaximB: in systemsettings, add and remove software
[21:25] <iconmefisto> lalalol: look in systemsettings, regional & language, keyboard layout
[21:29] <lalalol> ffs
[21:31] <lalalol> i cant even get a working keyboard
[21:31] <WaltzingAlong> lalalol: ok
[21:32] <zeelot3k> when could I expect firefox 3.6 to be in the ubuntu repos?
[21:32] <iconmefisto> lalalol: maybe someone in the french channel could help with azerty?
[21:32] <lalalol> iconmefisto: im belgian
[21:32] <lalalol> not french
[21:32] <lalalol> the belgian azerty is different than the french one
[21:33] <iconmefisto> but at least they would know something about azerty

[21:43] <Xand3r> ev0sx1: jap
[21:43] <ev0sx1> lalalol: which version are you using?
[21:43] <lalalol> 9.10
[21:43] <ev0sx1> erm
[21:43] <nonameNN> ev0sx1: im using kde 4.4 but i dont know what are u sayin about ppa 5?
[21:43] <ev0sx1> the version from the backports
[21:44] <nonameNN> ev0sx1: yeah i am
[21:44] <ev0sx1> my question is the following: has anybody else had troubles with configuring their keyboard layouts, after upgrading to 4.4?
[21:44] <nonameNN> ev0sx1: nope... im perfectly fine
[21:44] <ev0sx1> crap
[21:45] <ev0sx1> i can't properly configure my keyboard and it was working perfectly before!
[21:45] <ev0sx1> any ideas?
[21:45] <WaltzingAlong> #kde
[21:45] <nonameNN> ev0sx1: nope, i would try #kde
[21:46] <nonameNN> ev0sx1: or mv .kde .kdebackup and mv .kderc and .local and restart kde and see what happens
[21:46] <lalalol> im gonna shower
[21:47] <lalalol> bbl
[21:56] <ev0sx1> nonameNN: i was hoping i didn't need to do that
[21:56] <ev0sx1> last time i tried worked out badly
[21:56] <nonameNN> ev0sx1: check if u have installed kubuntu-default-settings package
[21:59] <nonameNN> ev0sx1:  try dpkg-reconfigure locales and then dpkg-reconfigure console-data
[22:00] <nonameNN> ev0sx1: also u could try dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[22:06] <vbgunz> Do kubuntu/KDe do something about the font rendering or something?
[22:07] <nonameNN> vbgunz: in system preferences appearance fonts there is that option
[22:11] <vbgunz> nonameNN: sorry, I was really asking if they did something to it. my font rendering for most apps outside the terminal look wonderful. better than before. inside the terminal is another story as most of my favorite fonts don't work correctly.
[22:14] <nonameNN> vbgunz: i guess, mine look good too
[22:15] <davyde> how to use webcam /dev/video1 in skype?
[22:50] <peterhe> Hi all. How do I install a printer connected via usb. I've tried installing cups
[22:50] <peterhe> is that the best way to do it?
[22:53] <peterhe> anyone?
[22:54] <werfact> peterhe: usb printer should be recognised automatically
[22:54] <werfact> peterhe: if its not, then yo uhave to find a driver for it
[22:54] <peterhe> hmm how do you mean automatically?
[22:55] <peterhe> should there already be a printer installed?
[22:55] <davyde> why the preview of a wav file take only  the first second of the sound?
[22:55] <knasto> Hi, I can't boot into my Ubuntu karmic. I know this is kubuntu but I'm wondering if anyone here can help me. I already tried Ubuntu channel.
[22:55] <davyde> i've just installed my canon ip3300 con kubuntu 9.10
[22:55] <davyde> it works good
[22:56] <davyde> setting printer and follow the instructions
[22:56] <knasto> Yesterday, it was working perfectly. Today, just randomly I cannot boot. The screen keeps flashing on the orange/white boot logo.
[22:58] <knasto> Can anyone help me?
[22:59] <Speedy2> Hey all.  I notice that the default setup in Kubuntu is to disallow X programs run as a different user.  I've edited the kdmrc to enable any user to connect, but still no luck.  Any ideas?
[23:00] <ToxinPowe> knasto: hardware problem maybe? graphic card die?
[23:00] <ToxinPowe> knasto: windows works?
[23:02] <Exilant> Speedy2: xhost+
[23:02] <Exilant> or sth.. like that
[23:02] <davyde> anyone know why kmuddy play only the first second of the wav file? dolphin do the same in the preview
[23:03] <Speedy2> Exilant: Yeah, I wanted to avoid xhost+ every time I nee dto run something as root.  I think I got it though.
[23:03] <davyde> with previev of avi and mp3 do the right thing
[23:04] <guitar431> did i mentioned today: I LOVE KUBUNTU :) :) :) :()
[23:05] <guitar431> the reason: I just figured out that i used hours and hours in windows to rip youtube videos and in kubuntu you have the video file in your tmp directory muahahahahaha
[23:05] <Exilant> Speedy2: What do you need to do as root in x? you can also add a sudoer entry and start it with kdesudo
[23:05] <Exilant> guitar431: also, there's youtube-dl.py
[23:06] <Exilant> and i just finished a wrapper to it
[23:06] <Exilant> type some search terms, and it will download and play the first video found :)
[23:06] <knasto> ToxinPowe, windows works, live usb version of ubuntu works. its just goes to the black and white logo then the screen flashes black, then nothing
[23:07] <Speedy2> Exilant: Not much, but there a few configuration programs (i..e nvidia-config) that need root access.
[23:07] <davyde> could anyone help me?
[23:07] <knasto> ToxinPowe, someone on the ubuntu channel talked me through resettting my xorg and checking the disk. xorg didnt do anything, the disk check didnt have any errors
[23:08] <davyde> there is some packages for wav file?
[23:08] <knasto> ToxinPowe, if i click on recovery mode, i can still use the terminal
[23:08] <Exilant> then you might just add a nopasswd entry in your sudoers file
[23:09] <peterhe> hi, I really need help setting up a dell 2130cn printer
[23:09] <peterhe> i've been trying to use cups but to no avail
[23:09] <peterhe> it is connected to my computer via usb
[23:10] <ToxinPowe> knasto: look /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:10] <peterhe> i have cups installed
[23:11] <knasto> ToxinPowe, you mean like use nano to look at that file
[23:11] <lalalol> who can help me with wifi?
[23:11] <ToxinPowe> knasto: yes, looking for any error/clue :m
[23:11] <Speedy2> Exilant: Thanks for your help and feedback. :)
[23:12] <knasto> ToxinPowe, is that what you mean?
[23:12] <ToxinPowe> yeo
[23:12] <ToxinPowe> yep
[23:12] <knasto> ToxinPowe, ignore that last message
[23:12] <Exilant> Speedy2: np. but you seem to have it solved otherwise, many ways to rome i guess :)
[23:13] <lalalol> anyone plz
[23:14] <knasto> ToxinPowe this is really confusing, i dont know what to look in this file
[23:15] <ToxinPowe> knasto: if you don't know anythig about linux, maybe the easiest solution is save your documents and reinstall like windows :s
[23:15] <knasto> ToxinPowe, could it be another issue though. Since I ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" before
[23:15] <ToxinPowe> but maybe other person can help you, I don't know :m
[23:16] <lalalol> plzzzz anyone
